16
17 * New upstream release (https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.4):
18 - [SECURITY] ssh-agent(1): restrict ssh-agent from signing web
19 challenges for FIDO/U2F keys.
20 - [SECURITY] ssh-keygen(1): Enable FIDO 2.1 credProtect extension when
21 generating a FIDO resident key.
22 - ssh-keygen(1): the format of the attestation information optionally
23 recorded when a FIDO key is generated has changed. It now includes the
24 authenticator data needed to validate attestation signatures.
25 - The API between OpenSSH and the FIDO token middleware has changed and
26 the SSH_SK_VERSION_MAJOR version has been incremented as a result.
27 Third-party middleware libraries must support the current API version
28 (7) to work with OpenSSH 8.4.
29 - ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): support for FIDO keys that require a PIN for
30 each use. These keys may be generated using ssh-keygen using a new
31 "verify-required" option. When a PIN-required key is used, the user
32 will be prompted for a PIN to complete the signature operation.
33 - sshd(8): authorized_keys now supports a new "verify-required" option
34 to require FIDO signatures assert that the token verified that the
35 user was present before making the signature. The FIDO protocol
36 supports multiple methods for user-verification, but currently OpenSSH
37 only supports PIN verification.
38 - sshd(8), ssh-keygen(1): add support for verifying FIDO webauthn
39 signatures. Webauthn is a standard for using FIDO keys in web
40 browsers. These signatures are a slightly different format to plain
41 FIDO signatures and thus require explicit support.
42 - ssh(1): allow some keywords to expand shell-style ${ENV} environment
43 variables. The supported keywords are CertificateFile, ControlPath,
44 IdentityAgent and IdentityFile, plus LocalForward and RemoteForward
45 when used for Unix domain socket paths.
46 - ssh(1), ssh-agent(1): allow some additional control over the use of
47 ssh-askpass via a new $SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE environment variable,
48 including forcibly enabling and disabling its use (closes: #368657).
49 - ssh(1): allow ssh_config(5)'s AddKeysToAgent keyword accept a time
50 limit for keys in addition to its current flag options. Time-limited
51 keys will automatically be removed from ssh-agent after their expiry
52 time has passed.
53 - scp(1), sftp(1): allow the -A flag to explicitly enable agent
54 forwarding in scp and sftp. The default remains to not forward an
55 agent, even when ssh_config enables it.
56 - ssh(1): add a '%k' TOKEN that expands to the effective HostKey of the
57 destination. This allows, e.g., keeping host keys in individual files
58 using "UserKnownHostsFile ~/.ssh/known_hosts.d/%k" (closes: #481250).
59 - ssh(1): add %-TOKEN, environment variable and tilde expansion to the
60 UserKnownHostsFile directive, allowing the path to be completed by the
61 configuration.
62 - ssh-keygen(1): allow "ssh-add -d -" to read keys to be deleted from
63 stdin.
64 - sshd(8): improve logging for MaxStartups connection throttling. sshd
65 will now log when it starts and stops throttling and periodically
66 while in this state.
67 - ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): better support for multiple attached FIDO
68 tokens. In cases where OpenSSH cannot unambiguously determine which
69 token to direct a request to, the user is now required to select a
70 token by touching it. In cases of operations that require a PIN to be
71 verified, this avoids sending the wrong PIN to the wrong token and
72 incrementing the token's PIN failure counter (tokens effectively erase
73 their keys after too many PIN failures).
74 - sshd(8): fix Include before Match in sshd_config (LP: #1885990).
75 - ssh(1): close stdin/out/error when forking after authentication
76 completes ("ssh -f ...").
77 - ssh(1), sshd(8): limit the amount of channel input data buffered,
78 avoiding peers that advertise large windows but are slow to read from
79 causing high memory consumption.
80 - ssh-agent(1): handle multiple requests sent in a single write() to the
81 agent.
82 - sshd(8): allow sshd_config longer than 256k.
83 - sshd(8): avoid spurious "Unable to load host key" message when sshd
84 load a private key but no public counterpart.
85 - ssh(1): prefer the default hostkey algorithm list whenever we have a
86 hostkey that matches its best-preference algorithm.
87 - sshd(1): when ordering the hostkey algorithms to request from a
88 server, prefer certificate types if the known_hosts files contain a
89 key marked as a @cert-authority.
90 - ssh(1): perform host key fingerprint comparisons for the "Are you sure
91 you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?" prompt with
92 case sensitivity.
93 - sshd(8): ensure that address/masklen mismatches in sshd_config yield
94 fatal errors at daemon start time rather than later when they are
95 evaluated.
96 - ssh-keygen(1): ensure that certificate extensions are lexically
97 sorted. Previously if the user specified a custom extension then the
98 everything would be in order except the custom ones.
99 - ssh(1): also compare username when checking for JumpHost loops.
100 - ssh-keygen(1): preserve group/world read permission on known_hosts
101 files across runs of "ssh-keygen -Rf /path". The old behaviour was to
102 remove all rights for group/other.
103 - ssh-keygen(1): Mention the [-a rounds] flag in the ssh-keygen manual
104 page and usage().
105 - sshd(8): explicitly construct path to ~/.ssh/rc rather than relying on
106 it being relative to the current directory, so that it can still be
107 found if the shell startup changes its directory.
108 - sshd(8): when redirecting sshd's log output to a file, undo this
109 redirection after the session child process is forked(). Fixes missing
110 log messages when using this feature under some circumstances.
111 - sshd(8): start ClientAliveInterval bookkeeping before first pass
112 through select() loop; fixed theoretical case where busy sshd may
113 ignore timeouts from client.
114 - ssh(1): only reset the ServerAliveInterval check when we receive
115 traffic from the server and ignore traffic from a port forwarding
116 client, preventing a client from keeping a connection alive when it
117 should be terminated.
118 - ssh-keygen(1): avoid spurious error message when ssh-keygen creates
119 files outside ~/.ssh.
120 - sftp-client(1): fix off-by-one error that caused sftp downloads to
121 make one more concurrent request that desired. This prevented using
122 sftp(1) in unpipelined request/response mode, which is useful when
123 debugging.
124 - ssh(1), sshd(8): handle EINTR in waitfd() and timeout_connect()
125 helpers.
126 - ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): defer creation of ~/.ssh until we attempt to
127 write to it so we don't leave an empty .ssh directory when it's not
128 needed.
129 - ssh(1), sshd(8): fix multiplier when parsing time specifications when
130 handling seconds after other units.
131 - sshd(8): always send any PAM account messages. If the PAM account
132 stack returns any messages, always send them to the user and not just
133 if the check succeeds.
134 - gnome-ssh-askpass3: ensure the "close" button is not focused by
135 default for SSH_ASKPASS_PROMPT=none prompts. Avoids space/enter
136 accidentally dismissing FIDO touch notifications.
137 - gnome-ssh-askpass3: allow some control over textarea colour via
138 $GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_FG_COLOR and $GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_BG_COLOR
139 environment variables.
140 - Detect the Frankenstein monster of Linux/X32 and allow the sandbox to
141 function there.

146
147 * New upstream release (https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.3):
148 - [SECURITY] scp(1): when receiving files, scp(1) could become
149 desynchronised if a utimes(2) system call failed. This could allow
150 file contents to be interpreted as file metadata and thereby permit an
151 adversary to craft a file system that, when copied with scp(1) in a
152 configuration that caused utimes(2) to fail (e.g. under a SELinux
153 policy or syscall sandbox), transferred different file names and
154 contents to the actual file system layout.
155 - sftp(1): reject an argument of "-1" in the same way as ssh(1) and
156 scp(1) do instead of accepting and silently ignoring it.
157 - sshd(8): make IgnoreRhosts a tri-state option: "yes" to ignore
158 rhosts/shosts, "no" to allow rhosts/shosts or (new) "shosts-only" to
159 allow .shosts files but not .rhosts.
160 - sshd(8): allow the IgnoreRhosts directive to appear anywhere in a
161 sshd_config, not just before any Match blocks.
162 - ssh(1): add %TOKEN percent expansion for the LocalForward and
163 RemoteForward keywords when used for Unix domain socket forwarding.
164 - all: allow loading public keys from the unencrypted envelope of a
165 private key file if no corresponding public key file is present.
166 - ssh(1), sshd(8): prefer to use chacha20 from libcrypto where possible
167 instead of the (slower) portable C implementation included in OpenSSH.
168 - ssh-keygen(1): add ability to dump the contents of a binary key
169 revocation list via "ssh-keygen -lQf /path".
170 - ssh(1): fix IdentitiesOnly=yes to also apply to keys loaded from a
171 PKCS11Provider.
172 - ssh-keygen(1): avoid NULL dereference when trying to convert an
173 invalid RFC4716 private key.
174 - scp(1): when performing remote-to-remote copies using "scp -3", start
175 the second ssh(1) channel with BatchMode=yes enabled to avoid
176 confusing and non-deterministic ordering of prompts.
177 - ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): when signing a challenge using a FIDO token,
178 perform hashing of the message to be signed in the middleware layer
179 rather than in OpenSSH code. This permits the use of security key
180 middlewares that perform the hashing implicitly, such as Windows
181 Hello.
182 - ssh(1): fix incorrect error message for "too many known hosts files."
183 - ssh(1): make failures when establishing "Tunnel" forwarding terminate
184 the connection when ExitOnForwardFailure is enabled.
185 - ssh-keygen(1): fix printing of fingerprints on private keys and add a
186 regression test for same.
187 - sshd(8): document order of checking AuthorizedKeysFile (first) and
188 AuthorizedKeysCommand (subsequently, if the file doesn't match).
189 - sshd(8): document that /etc/hosts.equiv and /etc/shosts.equiv are not
190 considered for HostbasedAuthentication when the target user is root.
191 - ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): fix NULL dereference in private certificate key
192 parsing.
193 - ssh(1), sshd(8): more consistency between sets of %TOKENS are accepted
194 in various configuration options.
195 - ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): improve error messages for some common PKCS#11
196 C_Login failure cases.
197 - ssh(1), sshd(8): make error messages for problems during SSH banner
198 exchange consistent with other SSH transport-layer error messages and
199 ensure they include the relevant IP addresses.
200 - ssh-keygen(1), ssh-add(1): when downloading FIDO2 resident keys from a
201 token, don't prompt for a PIN until the token has told us that it
202 needs one. Avoids double-prompting on devices that implement
203 on-device authentication (closes: #932071).
204 - sshd(8), ssh-keygen(1): no-touch-required FIDO certificate option
205 should be an extension, not a critical option.
206 - ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1), ssh-add(1): offer a better error message when
207 trying to use a FIDO key function and SecurityKeyProvider is empty.
208 - ssh-add(1), ssh-agent(8): ensure that a key lifetime fits within the
209 values allowed by the wire format (u32). Prevents integer wraparound
210 of the timeout values.
211 - ssh(1): detect and prevent trivial configuration loops when using
212 ProxyJump. bz#3057.
213 - On platforms that do not support setting process-wide routing domains
214 (all excepting OpenBSD at present), fail to accept a configuration
215 attempts to set one at process start time rather than fatally erroring
216 at run time.
217 - Fix theoretical infinite loop in the glob(3) replacement
218 implementation.
219 * Update GSSAPI key exchange patch from
220 https://github.com/openssh-gsskex/openssh-gsskex:
221 - Fix connection through ProxyJump in combination with "GSSAPITrustDNS
222 yes".
223 - Enable SHA2-based GSSAPI key exchange methods by default as RFC 8732
224 was published.
225 * Fix or suppress various shellcheck errors under debian/.
226 * Use AUTOPKGTEST_TMP rather than the deprecated ADTTMP.
227 * Apply upstream patch to fix the handling of Port directives after
228 Include (closes: #962035, LP: #1876320).

256openssh (1:8.2p1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
257
258 * New upstream release (https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.2, closes:
259 #951582):
260 - ssh(1), sshd(8), ssh-keygen(1): this release removes the "ssh-rsa"
261 (RSA/SHA1) algorithm from those accepted for certificate signatures
262 (i.e. the client and server CASignatureAlgorithms option) and will use
263 the rsa-sha2-512 signature algorithm by default when the ssh-keygen(1)
264 CA signs new certificates.
265 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Remove diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 from the default
266 key exchange proposal for both the client and server.
267 - ssh-keygen(1): The command-line options related to the generation and
268 screening of safe prime numbers used by the
269 diffie-hellman-group-exchange-* key exchange algorithms have changed.
270 Most options have been folded under the -O flag.
271 - sshd(8): The sshd listener process title visible to ps(1) has changed
272 to include information about the number of connections that are
273 currently attempting authentication and the limits configured by
274 MaxStartups.
275 - Add support for FIDO/U2F hardware authenticators.
276 - ssh-keygen(1): Add a "no-touch-required" option when generating
277 FIDO-hosted keys, that disables their default behaviour of requiring a
278 physical touch/tap on the token during authentication. Note: not all
279 tokens support disabling the touch requirement.
280 - sshd(8): Add a sshd_config PubkeyAuthOptions directive that collects
281 miscellaneous public key authentication-related options for sshd(8).
282 At present it supports only a single option "no-touch-required". This
283 causes sshd to skip its default check for FIDO/U2F keys that the
284 signature was authorised by a touch or press event on the token
285 hardware.
286 - ssh(1), sshd(8), ssh-keygen(1): Add a "no-touch-required" option for
287 authorized_keys and a similar extension for certificates. This option
288 disables the default requirement that FIDO key signatures attest that
289 the user touched their key to authorize them, mirroring the similar
290 PubkeyAuthOptions sshd_config option.
291 - ssh-keygen(1): Add support for the writing the FIDO attestation
292 information that is returned when new keys are generated via the "-O
293 write-attestation=/path" option. FIDO attestation certificates may be
294 used to verify that a FIDO key is hosted in trusted hardware. OpenSSH
295 does not currently make use of this information, beyond optionally
296 writing it to disk.
297 - Add support for FIDO2 resident keys.
298 - sshd(8): Add an Include sshd_config keyword that allows including
299 additional configuration files via glob(3) patterns (closes: #631189).
300 - ssh(1)/sshd(8): Make the LE (low effort) DSCP code point available via
301 the IPQoS directive.
302 - ssh(1): When AddKeysToAgent=yes is set and the key contains no
303 comment, add the key to the agent with the key's path as the comment.
304 - ssh-keygen(1), ssh-agent(1): Expose PKCS#11 key labels and X.509
305 subjects as key comments, rather than simply listing the PKCS#11
306 provider library path.
307 - ssh-keygen(1): Allow PEM export of DSA and ECDSA keys.
308 - sshd(8): When clients get denied by MaxStartups, send a notification
309 prior to the SSH2 protocol banner according to RFC4253 section 4.2
310 (closes: #275458).
311 - ssh(1), ssh-agent(1): When invoking the $SSH_ASKPASS prompt program,
312 pass a hint to the program to describe the type of desired prompt.
313 The possible values are "confirm" (indicating that a yes/no
314 confirmation dialog with no text entry should be shown), "none" (to
315 indicate an informational message only), or blank for the original
316 ssh-askpass behaviour of requesting a password/phrase.
317 - ssh(1): Allow forwarding a different agent socket to the path
318 specified by $SSH_AUTH_SOCK, by extending the existing ForwardAgent
319 option to accepting an explicit path or the name of an environment
320 variable in addition to yes/no.
321 - ssh-keygen(1): Add a new signature operations "find-principals" to
322 look up the principal associated with a signature from an
323 allowed-signers file.
324 - sshd(8): Expose the number of currently-authenticating connections
325 along with the MaxStartups limit in the process title visible to "ps".
326 - sshd(8): Make ClientAliveCountMax=0 have sensible semantics: it will
327 now disable connection killing entirely rather than the current
328 behaviour of instantly killing the connection after the first liveness
329 test regardless of success.
330 - sshd(8): Clarify order of AllowUsers / DenyUsers vs AllowGroups /
331 DenyGroups in the sshd(8) manual page.
332 - sshd(8): Better describe HashKnownHosts in the manual page.
333 - sshd(8): Clarify that that permitopen=/PermitOpen do no name or
334 address translation in the manual page.
335 - sshd(8): Allow the UpdateHostKeys feature to function when multiple
336 known_hosts files are in use. When updating host keys, ssh will now
337 search subsequent known_hosts files, but will add updated host keys to
338 the first specified file only.
339 - All: Replace all calls to signal(2) with a wrapper around
340 sigaction(2). This wrapper blocks all other signals during the
341 handler preventing races between handlers, and sets SA_RESTART which
342 should reduce the potential for short read/write operations.
343 - sftp(1): Fix a race condition in the SIGCHILD handler that could turn
344 in to a kill(-1).
345 - sshd(8): Fix a case where valid (but extremely large) SSH channel IDs
346 were being incorrectly rejected.
347 - ssh(1): When checking host key fingerprints as answers to new hostkey
348 prompts, ignore whitespace surrounding the fingerprint itself.
349 - All: Wait for file descriptors to be readable or writeable during
350 non-blocking connect, not just readable. Prevents a timeout when the
351 server doesn't immediately send a banner (e.g. multiplexers like
352 sslh).
353 - sshd_config(5): Document the sntrup4591761x25519-sha512@tinyssh.org
354 key exchange algorithm.
355 * Add more historical md5sums of /etc/ssh/sshd_config between 1:7.4p1-1
356 and 1:7.8p1-1 inclusive (closes: #951220).
357 * ssh(1): Explain that -Y is equivalent to -X in the default configuration
358 (closes: #951640).
359 * Include /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/*.conf from /etc/ssh/ssh_config and
360 /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf from /etc/ssh/sshd_config (closes:
361 #845315).

405
406 * New upstream release (https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.1):
407 - ssh(1), sshd(8), ssh-agent(1): Add protection for private keys at rest
408 in RAM against speculation and memory side-channel attacks like
409 Spectre, Meltdown and Rambleed. This release encrypts private keys
410 when they are not in use with a symmetric key that is derived from a
411 relatively large "prekey" consisting of random data (currently 16KB).
412 - ssh(1): Allow %n to be expanded in ProxyCommand strings.
413 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Allow prepending a list of algorithms to the default
414 set by starting the list with the '^' character, e.g.
415 "HostKeyAlgorithms ^ssh-ed25519".
416 - ssh-keygen(1): Add an experimental lightweight signature and
417 verification ability. Signatures may be made using regular ssh keys
418 held on disk or stored in a ssh-agent and verified against an
419 authorized_keys-like list of allowed keys. Signatures embed a
420 namespace that prevents confusion and attacks between different usage
421 domains (e.g. files vs email).
422 - ssh-keygen(1): Print key comment when extracting public key from a
423 private key.
424 - ssh-keygen(1): Accept the verbose flag when searching for host keys in
425 known hosts (i.e. "ssh-keygen -vF host") to print the matching host's
426 random-art signature too.
427 - All: Support PKCS8 as an optional format for storage of private keys
428 to disk. The OpenSSH native key format remains the default, but PKCS8
429 is a superior format to PEM if interoperability with non-OpenSSH
430 software is required, as it may use a less insecure key derivation
431 function than PEM's.
432 - ssh(1): If a PKCS#11 token returns no keys then try to login and
433 refetch them.
434 - ssh(1): Produce a useful error message if the user's shell is set
435 incorrectly during "match exec" processing.
436 - sftp(1): Allow the maximum uint32 value for the argument passed to -b
437 which allows better error messages from later validation.
438 - ssh-keyscan(1): Include SHA2-variant RSA key algorithms in KEX
439 proposal; allows ssh-keyscan to harvest keys from servers that disable
440 old SHA1 ssh-rsa.
441 - sftp(1): Print explicit "not modified" message if a file was requested
442 for resumed download but was considered already complete.
443 - sftp(1): Fix a typo and make <esc><right> move right to the closest
444 end of a word just like <esc><left> moves left to the closest
445 beginning of a word.
446 - sshd(8): Cap the number of permitopen/permitlisten directives allowed
447 to appear on a single authorized_keys line.
448 - All: Fix a number of memory leaks (one-off or on exit paths).
449 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Check for convtime() refusing to accept times that
450 resolve to LONG_MAX.
451 - ssh(1): Slightly more instructive error message when the user
452 specifies multiple -J options on the command-line (closes: #929669).
453 - ssh-agent(1): Process agent requests for RSA certificate private keys
454 using correct signature algorithm when requested.
455 - sftp(1): Check for user@host when parsing sftp target. This allows
456 user@[1.2.3.4] to work without a path.
457 - sshd(8): Enlarge format buffer size for certificate serial number so
458 the log message can record any 64-bit integer without truncation.
459 - sshd(8): For PermitOpen violations add the remote host and port to be
460 able to more easily ascertain the source of the request. Add the same
461 logging for PermitListen violations which were not previously logged
462 at all.
463 - scp(1), sftp(1): Use the correct POSIX format style for left
464 justification for the transfer progress meter.
465 - sshd(8): When examining a configuration using sshd -T, assume any
466 attribute not provided by -C does not match, which allows it to work
467 when sshd_config contains a Match directive with or without -C.
468 - ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): Downgrade PKCS#11 "provider returned no slots"
469 warning from log level error to debug. This is common when attempting
470 to enumerate keys on smartcard readers with no cards plugged in.
471 - ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): Do not unconditionally log in to PKCS#11
472 tokens. Avoids spurious PIN prompts for keys not selected for
473 authentication in ssh(1) and when listing public keys available in a
474 token using ssh-keygen(1).
475 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Fix typo that prevented detection of Linux VRF.
476 - sshd(8): In the Linux seccomp-bpf sandbox, allow mprotect(2) with
477 PROT_(READ|WRITE|NONE) only. This syscall is used by some hardened
478 heap allocators.
479 - sshd(8): In the Linux seccomp-bpf sandbox, allow the s390-specific
480 ioctl for ECC hardware support.
481 * Re-enable hardening on hppa, since the corresponding GCC bug is
482 apparently fixed.

535
536 * New upstream release (https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.0, closes:
537 #927792):
538 - ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), ssh-add(1): Add support for ECDSA keys in
539 PKCS#11 tokens (LP: #1665695).
540 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Add experimental quantum-computing resistant key
541 exchange method, based on a combination of Streamlined NTRU Prime
542 4591^761 and X25519.
543 - ssh-keygen(1): Increase the default RSA key size to 3072 bits,
544 following NIST Special Publication 800-57's guidance for a 128-bit
545 equivalent symmetric security level (LP: #1445625).
546 - ssh(1): Allow "PKCS11Provider=none" to override later instances of the
547 PKCS11Provider directive in ssh_config.
548 - sshd(8): Add a log message for situations where a connection is
549 dropped for attempting to run a command but a sshd_config
550 ForceCommand=internal-sftp restriction is in effect.
551 - ssh(1): When prompting whether to record a new host key, accept the
552 key fingerprint as a synonym for "yes". This allows the user to paste
553 a fingerprint obtained out of band at the prompt and have the client
554 do the comparison for you.
555 - ssh-keygen(1): When signing multiple certificates on a single
556 command-line invocation, allow automatically incrementing the
557 certificate serial number.
558 - scp(1), sftp(1): Accept -J option as an alias to ProxyJump on the scp
559 and sftp command-lines.
560 - ssh-agent(1), ssh-pkcs11-helper(8), ssh-add(1): Accept "-v"
561 command-line flags to increase the verbosity of output; pass verbose
562 flags though to subprocesses, such as ssh-pkcs11-helper started from
563 ssh-agent.
564 - ssh-add(1): Add a "-T" option to allowing testing whether keys in an
565 agent are usable by performing a signature and a verification.
566 - sftp-server(8): Add a "lsetstat@openssh.com" protocol extension that
567 replicates the functionality of the existing SSH2_FXP_SETSTAT
568 operation but does not follow symlinks.
569 - sftp(1): Add "-h" flag to chown/chgrp/chmod commands to request they
570 do not follow symlinks.
571 - sshd(8): Expose $SSH_CONNECTION in the PAM environment. This makes
572 the connection 4-tuple available to PAM modules that wish to use it in
573 decision-making.
574 - sshd(8): Add a ssh_config "Match final" predicate. Matches in same
575 pass as "Match canonical" but doesn't require hostname
576 canonicalisation be enabled.
577 - sftp(1): Support a prefix of '@' to suppress echo of sftp batch
578 commands.
579 - ssh-keygen(1): When printing certificate contents using "ssh-keygen
580 -Lf /path/certificate", include the algorithm that the CA used to sign
581 the cert.
582 - sshd(8): Fix authentication failures when sshd_config contains
583 "AuthenticationMethods any" inside a Match block that overrides a more
584 restrictive default.
585 - sshd(8): Avoid sending duplicate keepalives when ClientAliveCount is
586 enabled.
587 - sshd(8): Fix two race conditions related to SIGHUP daemon restart.
588 Remnant file descriptors in recently-forked child processes could
589 block the parent sshd's attempt to listen(2) to the configured
590 addresses. Also, the restarting parent sshd could exit before any
591 child processes that were awaiting their re-execution state had
592 completed reading it, leaving them in a fallback path.
593 - ssh(1): Fix stdout potentially being redirected to /dev/null when
594 ProxyCommand=- was in use.
595 - sshd(8): Avoid sending SIGPIPE to child processes if they attempt to
596 write to stderr after their parent processes have exited.
597 - ssh(1): Fix bad interaction between the ssh_config ConnectTimeout and
598 ConnectionAttempts directives - connection attempts after the first
599 were ignoring the requested timeout (LP: #1798049).
600 - ssh-keyscan(1): Return a non-zero exit status if no keys were found
601 (closes: #374980, LP: #1661745).
602 - scp(1): Sanitize scp filenames to allow UTF-8 characters without
603 terminal control sequences.
604 - sshd(8): Fix confusion between ClientAliveInterval and time-based
605 RekeyLimit that could cause connections to be incorrectly closed.
606 - ssh(1), ssh-add(1): Correct some bugs in PKCS#11 token PIN handling at
607 initial token login. The attempt to read the PIN could be skipped in
608 some cases, particularly on devices with integrated PIN readers. This
609 would lead to an inability to retrieve keys from these tokens.
610 - ssh(1), ssh-add(1): Support keys on PKCS#11 tokens that set the
611 CKA_ALWAYS_AUTHENTICATE flag by requring a fresh login after the
612 C_SignInit operation.
613 - ssh(1): Improve documentation for ProxyJump/-J, clarifying that local
614 configuration does not apply to jump hosts.
615 - ssh-keygen(1): Clarify manual - ssh-keygen -e only writes public keys,
616 not private.
617 - ssh(1), sshd(8): be more strict in processing protocol banners,
618 allowing \r characters only immediately before \n.
619 - Various: fix a number of memory leaks.
620 - scp(1), sftp(1): fix calculation of initial bandwidth limits. Account
621 for bytes written before the timer starts and adjust the schedule on
622 which recalculations are performed. Avoids an initial burst of
623 traffic and yields more accurate bandwidth limits.
624 - sshd(8): Only consider the ext-info-c extension during the initial key
625 eschange. It shouldn't be sent in subsequent ones, but if it is
626 present we should ignore it. This prevents sshd from sending a
627 SSH_MSG_EXT_INFO for REKEX for these buggy clients.
628 - ssh-keygen(1): Clarify manual that ssh-keygen -F (find host in
629 authorized_keys) and -R (remove host from authorized_keys) options may
630 accept either a bare hostname or a [hostname]:port combo.
631 - ssh(1): Don't attempt to connect to empty SSH_AUTH_SOCK.
632 - sshd(8): Silence error messages when sshd fails to load some of the
633 default host keys. Failure to load an explicitly-configured hostkey
634 is still an error, and failure to load any host key is still fatal.
635 - ssh(1): Redirect stderr of ProxyCommands to /dev/null when ssh is
636 started with ControlPersist; prevents random ProxyCommand output from
637 interfering with session output.
638 - ssh(1): The ssh client was keeping a redundant ssh-agent socket
639 (leftover from authentication) around for the life of the connection.
640 - sshd(8): Fix bug in HostbasedAcceptedKeyTypes and
641 PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes options. If only RSA-SHA2 signature types were
642 specified, then authentication would always fail for RSA keys as the
643 monitor checks only the base key (not the signature algorithm) type
644 against *AcceptedKeyTypes.
645 - ssh(1): Request correct signature types from ssh-agent when
646 certificate keys and RSA-SHA2 signatures are in use.
647 - sshd(8): Don't set $MAIL if UsePAM=yes as PAM typically specifies the
648 user environment if it's enabled (closes: #189920, #532754).
649 * Mostly resynced GSSAPI key exchange patch with Fedora. Major changes:
650 - Support selection of GSSAPI key exchange algorithms.
651 - Support GSSAPI key exchange methods with DH and SHA2.
652 - Support GSSAPI key exchange using ECDH and SHA2.
653 - Make sure the Kerberos tickets are cleaned up with the user context.
654 - Enable gssapi-keyex authentication without gssapi-with-mic.
655 - Allow querying for GSSAPI key exchange algorithms from ssh (-Q
656 kex-gss).
657 * Apply upstream patch to fix the utimensat regression tests when not
658 using the compatibility implementation.

761
762 * New upstream release (https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.9):
763 - ssh(1), sshd(8): allow most port numbers to be specified using service
764 names from getservbyname(3) (typically /etc/services; closes:
765 #177406).
766 - ssh(1): allow the IdentityAgent configuration directive to accept
767 environment variable names. This supports the use of multiple agent
768 sockets without needing to use fixed paths.
769 - sshd(8): support signalling sessions via the SSH protocol. A limited
770 subset of signals is supported and only for login or command sessions
771 (i.e. not subsystems) that were not subject to a forced command via
772 authorized_keys or sshd_config.
773 - ssh(1): support "ssh -Q sig" to list supported signature options.
774 Also "ssh -Q help" to show the full set of supported queries.
775 - ssh(1), sshd(8): add a CASignatureAlgorithms option for the client and
776 server configs to allow control over which signature formats are
777 allowed for CAs to sign certificates. For example, this allows
778 banning CAs that sign certificates using the RSA-SHA1 signature
779 algorithm.
780 - sshd(8), ssh-keygen(1): allow key revocation lists (KRLs) to revoke
781 keys specified by SHA256 hash.
782 - ssh-keygen(1): allow creation of key revocation lists directly from
783 base64-encoded SHA256 fingerprints. This supports revoking keys using
784 only the information contained in sshd(8) authentication log messages.
785 - ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): avoid spurious "invalid format" errors when
786 attempting to load PEM private keys while using an incorrect
787 passphrase.
788 - sshd(8): when a channel closed message is received from a client,
789 close the stderr file descriptor at the same time stdout is closed.
790 This avoids stuck processes if they were waiting for stderr to close
791 and were insensitive to stdin/out closing (closes: #844494).
792 - ssh(1): allow ForwardX11Timeout=0 to disable the untrusted X11
793 forwarding timeout and support X11 forwarding indefinitely.
794 Previously the behaviour of ForwardX11Timeout=0 was undefined.
795 - sshd(8): when compiled with GSSAPI support, cache supported method
796 OIDs regardless of whether GSSAPI authentication is enabled in the
797 main section of sshd_config. This avoids sandbox violations if GSSAPI
798 authentication was later enabled in a Match block.
799 - sshd(8): do not fail closed when configured with a text key revocation
800 list that contains a too-short key.
801 - ssh(1): treat connections with ProxyJump specified the same as ones
802 with a ProxyCommand set with regards to hostname canonicalisation
803 (i.e. don't try to canonicalise the hostname unless
804 CanonicalizeHostname is set to 'always').
805 - ssh(1): fix regression in OpenSSH 7.8 that could prevent public-key
806 authentication using certificates hosted in a ssh-agent(1) or against
807 sshd(8) from OpenSSH <7.8 (LP: #1790963).
808 - All: support building against the openssl-1.1 API (releases 1.1.0g and
809 later). The openssl-1.0 API will remain supported at least until
810 OpenSSL terminates security patch support for that API version
811 (closes: #828475).
812 - sshd(8): allow the futex(2) syscall in the Linux seccomp sandbox;
813 apparently required by some glibc/OpenSSL combinations.
814 * Remove dh_builddeb override to use xz compression; this has been the
815 default since dpkg 1.17.0.
816 * Simplify debian/rules using /usr/share/dpkg/default.mk.
817 * Remove /etc/network/if-up.d/openssh-server, as it causes more problems
818 than it solves (thanks, Christian Ehrhardt, Andreas Hasenack, and David
819 Britton; closes: #789532, LP: #1037738, #1674330, #1718227). Add an
820 "if-up hook removed" section to README.Debian documenting the corner
821 case that may need configuration adjustments.

829 - ssh-keygen(1): Write OpenSSH format private keys by default instead of
830 using OpenSSL's PEM format (closes: #905407). The OpenSSH format,
831 supported in OpenSSH releases since 2014 and described in the
832 PROTOCOL.key file in the source distribution, offers substantially
833 better protection against offline password guessing and supports key
834 comments in private keys. If necessary, it is possible to write old
835 PEM-style keys by adding "-m PEM" to ssh-keygen's arguments when
836 generating or updating a key.
837 - sshd(8): Remove internal support for S/Key multiple factor
838 authentication. S/Key may still be used via PAM or BSD auth.
839 - ssh(1): Remove vestigial support for running ssh(1) as setuid. This
840 used to be required for hostbased authentication and the (long gone)
841 rhosts-style authentication, but has not been necessary for a long
842 time. Attempting to execute ssh as a setuid binary, or with uid !=
843 effective uid will now yield a fatal error at runtime.
844 - sshd(8): The semantics of PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes and the similar
845 HostbasedAcceptedKeyTypes options have changed. These now specify
846 signature algorithms that are accepted for their respective
847 authentication mechanism, where previously they specified accepted key
848 types. This distinction matters when using the RSA/SHA2 signature
849 algorithms "rsa-sha2-256", "rsa-sha2-512" and their certificate
850 counterparts. Configurations that override these options but omit
851 these algorithm names may cause unexpected authentication failures (no
852 action is required for configurations that accept the default for
853 these options).
854 - sshd(8): The precedence of session environment variables has changed.
855 ~/.ssh/environment and environment="..." options in authorized_keys
856 files can no longer override SSH_* variables set implicitly by sshd.
857 - ssh(1)/sshd(8): The default IPQoS used by ssh/sshd has changed. They
858 will now use DSCP AF21 for interactive traffic and CS1 for bulk. For
859 a detailed rationale, please see the commit message:
860 https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/usr.bin/ssh/readconf.c#rev1.284
861 - ssh(1)/sshd(8): Add new signature algorithms "rsa-sha2-256-cert-
862 v01@openssh.com" and "rsa-sha2-512-cert-v01@openssh.com" to explicitly
863 force use of RSA/SHA2 signatures in authentication.
864 - sshd(8): Extend the PermitUserEnvironment option to accept a whitelist
865 of environment variable names in addition to global "yes" or "no"
866 settings.
867 - sshd(8): Add a PermitListen directive to sshd_config(5) and a
868 corresponding permitlisten= authorized_keys option that control which
869 listen addresses and port numbers may be used by remote forwarding
870 (ssh -R ...).
871 - sshd(8): Add some countermeasures against timing attacks used for
872 account validation/enumeration. sshd will enforce a minimum time or
873 each failed authentication attempt consisting of a global 5ms minimum
874 plus an additional per-user 0-4ms delay derived from a host secret.
875 - sshd(8): Add a SetEnv directive to allow an administrator to
876 explicitly specify environment variables in sshd_config. Variables
877 set by SetEnv override the default and client-specified environment.
878 - ssh(1): Add a SetEnv directive to request that the server sets an
879 environment variable in the session. Similar to the existing SendEnv
880 option, these variables are set subject to server configuration.
881 - ssh(1): Allow "SendEnv -PATTERN" to clear environment variables
882 previously marked for sending to the server (closes: #573316).
883 - ssh(1)/sshd(8): Make UID available as a %-expansion everywhere that
884 the username is available currently.
885 - ssh(1): Allow setting ProxyJump=none to disable ProxyJump
886 functionality.
887 - sshd(8): Avoid observable differences in request parsing that could be
888 used to determine whether a target user is valid.
889 - ssh(1)/sshd(8): Fix some memory leaks.
890 - ssh(1): Fix a pwent clobber (introduced in openssh-7.7) that could
891 occur during key loading, manifesting as crash on some platforms.
892 - sshd_config(5): Clarify documentation for AuthenticationMethods
893 option.
894 - ssh(1): Ensure that the public key algorithm sent in a public key
895 SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST matches the content of the signature blob.
896 Previously, these could be inconsistent when a legacy or non-OpenSSH
897 ssh-agent returned a RSA/SHA1 signature when asked to make a RSA/SHA2
898 signature.
899 - sshd(8): Fix failures to read authorized_keys caused by faulty
900 supplemental group caching.
901 - scp(1): Apply umask to directories, fixing potential mkdir/chmod race
902 when copying directory trees.
903 - ssh-keygen(1): Return correct exit code when searching for and hashing
904 known_hosts entries in a single operation.
905 - ssh(1): Prefer the ssh binary pointed to via argv[0] to $PATH when
906 re-executing ssh for ProxyJump.
907 - sshd(8): Do not ban PTY allocation when a sshd session is restricted
908 because the user password is expired as it breaks password change
909 dialog.
910 - ssh(1)/sshd(8): Fix error reporting from select() failures.
911 - ssh(1): Improve documentation for -w (tunnel) flag, emphasising that
912 -w implicitly sets Tunnel=point-to-point.
913 - ssh-agent(1): Implement EMFILE mitigation for ssh-agent. ssh-agent
914 will no longer spin when its file descriptor limit is exceeded.
915 - ssh(1)/sshd(8): Disable SSH2_MSG_DEBUG messages for Twisted Conch
916 clients. Twisted Conch versions that lack a version number in their
917 identification strings will mishandle these messages when running on
918 Python 2.x (https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/9422).
919 - sftp(1): Notify user immediately when underlying ssh process dies
920 expectedly.
921 - ssh(1)/sshd(8): Fix tunnel forwarding; regression in 7.7 release.
922 - ssh-agent(1): Don't kill ssh-agent's listening socket entirely if it
923 fails to accept(2) a connection.
924 - ssh(1): Add some missing options in the configuration dump output (ssh
925 -G).
926 - sshd(8): Expose details of completed authentication to PAM auth
927 modules via SSH_AUTH_INFO_0 in the PAM environment.
928 * Switch debian/watch to HTTPS.

964
965openssh (1:7.7p1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
966
967 * New upstream release (https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.7):
968 - ssh(1)/sshd(8): Drop compatibility support for some very old SSH
969 implementations, including ssh.com <=2.* and OpenSSH <= 3.*. These
970 versions were all released in or before 2001 and predate the final SSH
971 RFCs. The support in question isn't necessary for RFC-compliant SSH
972 implementations.
973 - Add experimental support for PQC XMSS keys (Extended Hash-Based
974 Signatures).
975 - sshd(8): Add an "rdomain" criterion for the sshd_config Match keyword
976 to allow conditional configuration that depends on which routing
977 domain a connection was received on.
978 - sshd_config(5): Add an optional rdomain qualifier to the ListenAddress
979 directive to allow listening on different routing domains.
980 - sshd(8): Add "expiry-time" option for authorized_keys files to allow
981 for expiring keys.
982 - ssh(1): Add a BindInterface option to allow binding the outgoing
983 connection to an interface's address (basically a more usable
984 BindAddress; closes: #289592).
985 - ssh(1): Expose device allocated for tun/tap forwarding via a new %T
986 expansion for LocalCommand. This allows LocalCommand to be used to
987 prepare the interface.
988 - sshd(8): Expose the device allocated for tun/tap forwarding via a new
989 SSH_TUNNEL environment variable. This allows automatic setup of the
990 interface and surrounding network configuration automatically on the
991 server.
992 - ssh(1)/scp(1)/sftp(1): Add URI support to ssh, sftp and scp, e.g.
993 ssh://user@host or sftp://user@host/path. Additional connection
994 parameters described in draft-ietf-secsh-scp-sftp-ssh-uri-04 are not
995 implemented since the ssh fingerprint format in the draft uses the
996 deprecated MD5 hash with no way to specify any other algorithm.
997 - ssh-keygen(1): Allow certificate validity intervals that specify only
998 a start or stop time (instead of both or neither).
999 - sftp(1): Allow "cd" and "lcd" commands with no explicit path argument.
1000 lcd will change to the local user's home directory as usual. cd will
1001 change to the starting directory for session (because the protocol
1002 offers no way to obtain the remote user's home directory).
1003 - sshd(8): When doing a config test with sshd -T, only require the
1004 attributes that are actually used in Match criteria rather than (an
1005 incomplete list of) all criteria.
1006 - ssh(1)/sshd(8): More strictly check signature types during key
1007 exchange against what was negotiated. Prevents downgrade of RSA
1008 signatures made with SHA-256/512 to SHA-1.
1009 - sshd(8): Fix support for client that advertise a protocol version of
1010 "1.99" (indicating that they are prepared to accept both SSHv1 and
1011 SSHv2). This was broken in OpenSSH 7.6 during the removal of SSHv1
1012 support.
1013 - ssh(1): Warn when the agent returns a ssh-rsa (SHA1) signature when a
1014 rsa-sha2-256/512 signature was requested. This condition is possible
1015 when an old or non-OpenSSH agent is in use.
1016 - ssh-agent(1): Fix regression introduced in 7.6 that caused ssh-agent
1017 to fatally exit if presented an invalid signature request message.
1018 - sshd_config(5): Accept yes/no flag options case-insensitively, as has
1019 been the case in ssh_config(5) for a long time (LP: #1656557).
1020 - ssh(1): Improve error reporting for failures during connection. Under
1021 some circumstances misleading errors were being shown.
1022 - ssh-keyscan(1): Add -D option to allow printing of results directly in
1023 SSHFP format.
1024 - ssh(1): Compatibility fix for some servers that erroneously drop the
1025 connection when the IUTF8 (RFC8160) option is sent.
1026 - scp(1): Disable RemoteCommand and RequestTTY in the ssh session
1027 started by scp (sftp was already doing this).
1028 - ssh-keygen(1): Refuse to create a certificate with an unusable number
1029 of principals.
1030 - ssh-keygen(1): Fatally exit if ssh-keygen is unable to write all the
1031 public key during key generation. Previously it would silently ignore
1032 errors writing the comment and terminating newline.
1033 - ssh(1): Do not modify hostname arguments that are addresses by
1034 automatically forcing them to lower-case. Instead canonicalise them
1035 jo resolve ambiguities (e.g. ::0001 => ::1) before they are matched
1036 against known_hosts.
1037 - ssh(1): Don't accept junk after "yes" or "no" responses to hostkey
1038 prompts.
1039 - sftp(1): Have sftp print a warning about shell cleanliness when
1040 decoding the first packet fails, which is usually caused by shells
1041 polluting stdout of non-interactive startups.
1042 - ssh(1)/sshd(8): Switch timers in packet code from using wall-clock
1043 time to monotonic time, allowing the packet layer to better function
1044 over a clock step and avoiding possible integer overflows during
1045 steps.
1046 - sshd(8): Correctly detect MIPS ABI in use at configure time. Fixes
1047 sandbox violations on some environments.
1048 - Build and link with "retpoline" flags when available to mitigate the
1049 "branch target injection" style (variant 2) of the Spectre
1050 branch-prediction vulnerability.

1099 * New upstream release (https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.6):
1100 - CVE-2017-15906: sftp-server(8): In read-only mode, sftp-server was
1101 incorrectly permitting creation of zero-length files. Reported by
1102 Michal Zalewski.
1103 - ssh(1): Delete SSH protocol version 1 support, associated
1104 configuration options and documentation (LP: #1584321).
1105 - ssh(1)/sshd(8): Remove support for the hmac-ripemd160 MAC.
1106 - ssh(1)/sshd(8): Remove support for the arcfour, blowfish and CAST
1107 ciphers.
1108 - Refuse RSA keys <1024 bits in length and improve reporting for keys
1109 that do not meet this requirement.
1110 - ssh(1): Do not offer CBC ciphers by default.
1111 - ssh(1): Add RemoteCommand option to specify a command in the ssh
1112 config file instead of giving it on the client's command line. This
1113 allows the configuration file to specify the command that will be
1114 executed on the remote host.
1115 - sshd(8): Add ExposeAuthInfo option that enables writing details of the
1116 authentication methods used (including public keys where applicable)
1117 to a file that is exposed via a $SSH_USER_AUTH environment variable in
1118 the subsequent session.
1119 - ssh(1): Add support for reverse dynamic forwarding. In this mode, ssh
1120 will act as a SOCKS4/5 proxy and forward connections to destinations
1121 requested by the remote SOCKS client. This mode is requested using
1122 extended syntax for the -R and RemoteForward options and, because it
1123 is implemented solely at the client, does not require the server be
1124 updated to be supported.
1125 - sshd(8): Allow LogLevel directive in sshd_config Match blocks.
1126 - ssh-keygen(1): Allow inclusion of arbitrary string or flag certificate
1127 extensions and critical options.
1128 - ssh-keygen(1): Allow ssh-keygen to use a key held in ssh-agent as a CA
1129 when signing certificates.
1130 - ssh(1)/sshd(8): Allow IPQoS=none in ssh/sshd to not set an explicit
1131 ToS/DSCP value and just use the operating system default.
1132 - ssh-add(1): Add -q option to make ssh-add quiet on success.
1133 - ssh(1): Expand the StrictHostKeyChecking option with two new settings.
1134 The first "accept-new" will automatically accept hitherto-unseen keys
1135 but will refuse connections for changed or invalid hostkeys. This is
1136 a safer subset of the current behaviour of StrictHostKeyChecking=no.
1137 The second setting "off", is a synonym for the current behaviour of
1138 StrictHostKeyChecking=no: accept new host keys, and continue
1139 connection for hosts with incorrect hostkeys. A future release will
1140 change the meaning of StrictHostKeyChecking=no to the behaviour of
1141 "accept-new".
1142 - ssh(1): Add SyslogFacility option to ssh(1) matching the equivalent
1143 option in sshd(8).
1144 - ssh(1): Use HostKeyAlias if specified instead of hostname for matching
1145 host certificate principal names.
1146 - sftp(1): Implement sorting for globbed ls.
1147 - ssh(1): Add a user@host prefix to client's "Permission denied"
1148 messages, useful in particular when using "stacked" connections (e.g.
1149 ssh -J) where it's not clear which host is denying.
1150 - ssh(1): Accept unknown EXT_INFO extension values that contain \0
1151 characters. These are legal, but would previously cause fatal
1152 connection errors if received.
1153 - sftp(1): Print '?' instead of incorrect link count (that the protocol
1154 doesn't provide) for remote listings.
1155 - ssh(1): Return failure rather than fatal() for more cases during
1156 session multiplexing negotiations. Causes the session to fall back to
1157 a non-mux connection if they occur.
1158 - ssh(1): Mention that the server may send debug messages to explain
1159 public key authentication problems under some circumstances.
1160 - Translate OpenSSL error codes to better report incorrect passphrase
1161 errors when loading private keys.
1162 - sshd(8): Adjust compatibility patterns for WinSCP to correctly
1163 identify versions that implement only the legacy DH group exchange
1164 scheme (closes: #877800).
1165 - ssh(1): Print the "Killed by signal 1" message only at LogLevel
1166 verbose so that it is not shown at the default level; prevents it from
1167 appearing during ssh -J and equivalent ProxyCommand configs.
1168 - ssh-keygen(1): When generating all hostkeys (ssh-keygen -A), clobber
1169 existing keys if they exist but are zero length. Zero-length keys
1170 could previously be made if ssh-keygen failed or was interrupted part
1171 way through generating them.
1172 - ssh-keyscan(1): Avoid double-close() on file descriptors.
1173 - sshd(8): Avoid reliance on shared use of pointers shared between
1174 monitor and child sshd processes.
1175 - sshd_config(8): Document available AuthenticationMethods.
1176 - ssh(1): Avoid truncation in some login prompts.
1177 - ssh(1): Make "--" before the hostname terminate argument processing
1178 after the hostname too (closes: #873201).
1179 - ssh-keygen(1): Switch from aes256-cbc to aes256-ctr for encrypting
1180 new-style private keys.
1181 - ssh(1): Warn and do not attempt to use keys when the public and
1182 private halves do not match.
1183 - sftp(1): Don't print verbose error message when ssh disconnects from
1184 under sftp.
1185 - sshd(8): Fix keepalive scheduling problem: prevent activity on a
1186 forwarded port from preventing the keepalive from being sent.
1187 - sshd(8): When started without root privileges, don't require the
1188 privilege separation user or path to exist.
1189 - ssh(1)/sshd(8): Correctness fix for channels implementation: accept
1190 channel IDs greater than 0x7FFFFFFF.
1191 - sshd(8): Expose list of completed authentication methods to PAM via
1192 the SSH_AUTH_INFO_0 PAM environment variable.
1193 - ssh(1)/sshd(8): Fix several problems in the tun/tap forwarding code,
1194 mostly to do with host/network byte order confusion.
1195 - sshd(8): Avoid Linux seccomp violations on ppc64le over the socketcall
1196 syscall.
1197 * Build-depend on debhelper (>= 9.20160709~) rather than dh-systemd.
1198 * Change priorities of ssh and ssh-krb5 binary packages to optional, since
1199 "Priority: extra" is now deprecated.
1200 * Use HTTPS form of copyright-format URL.
1201 * Adjust "Running sshd from inittab" instructions in README.Debian to
1202 recommend using service(8) rather than calling the init script directly.

1204 * Adjust "Per-connection sshd instances with systemd" instructions in

1302
1303 * New upstream release (https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.5):
1304 - SECURITY: ssh(1), sshd(8): Fix weakness in CBC padding oracle
1305 countermeasures that allowed a variant of the attack fixed in OpenSSH
1306 7.3 to proceed. Note that the OpenSSH client disables CBC ciphers by
1307 default, sshd offers them as lowest-preference options and will remove
1308 them by default entirely in the next release.
1309 - This release deprecates the sshd_config UsePrivilegeSeparation option,
1310 thereby making privilege separation mandatory (closes: #407754).
1311 - The format of several log messages emitted by the packet code has
1312 changed to include additional information about the user and their
1313 authentication state. Software that monitors ssh/sshd logs may need
1314 to account for these changes.
1315 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Support "=-" syntax to easily remove methods from
1316 algorithm lists, e.g. Ciphers=-*cbc.
1317 - sshd(1): Fix NULL dereference crash when key exchange start messages
1318 are sent out of sequence.
1319 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Allow form-feed characters to appear in configuration
1320 files.
1321 - sshd(8): Fix regression in OpenSSH 7.4 support for the server-sig-algs
1322 extension, where SHA2 RSA signature methods were not being correctly
1323 advertised.
1324 - ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): Fix a number of case-sensitivity bugs in
1325 known_hosts processing.
1326 - ssh(1): Allow ssh to use certificates accompanied by a private key
1327 file but no corresponding plain *.pub public key.
1328 - ssh(1): When updating hostkeys using the UpdateHostKeys option, accept
1329 RSA keys if HostkeyAlgorithms contains any RSA keytype. Previously,
1330 ssh could ignore RSA keys when only the ssh-rsa-sha2-* methods were
1331 enabled in HostkeyAlgorithms and not the old ssh-rsa method.
1332 - ssh(1): Detect and report excessively long configuration file lines.
1333 - Merge a number of fixes found by Coverity and reported via Redhat and
1334 FreeBSD. Includes fixes for some memory and file descriptor leaks in
1335 error paths.
1336 - ssh(1), sshd(8): When logging long messages to stderr, don't truncate
1337 "\r\n" if the length of the message exceeds the buffer.
1338 - ssh(1): Fully quote [host]:port in generated ProxyJump/-J command-
1339 line; avoid confusion over IPv6 addresses and shells that treat square
1340 bracket characters specially.
1341 - Fix various fallout and sharp edges caused by removing SSH protocol 1
1342 support from the server, including the server banner string being
1343 incorrectly terminated with only \n (instead of \r\n), confusing error
1344 messages from ssh-keyscan, and a segfault in sshd if protocol v.1 was
1345 enabled for the client and sshd_config contained references to legacy
1346 keys.
1347 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Free fd_set on connection timeout.
1348 - sftp(1): Fix division by zero crash in "df" output when server returns
1349 zero total filesystem blocks/inodes.
1350 - ssh(1), ssh-add(1), ssh-keygen(1), sshd(8): Translate OpenSSL errors
1351 encountered during key loading to more meaningful error codes.
1352 - ssh-keygen(1): Sanitise escape sequences in key comments sent to
1353 printf but preserve valid UTF-8 when the locale supports it.
1354 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Return reason for port forwarding failures where
1355 feasible rather than always "administratively prohibited".
1356 - sshd(8): Fix deadlock when AuthorizedKeysCommand or
1357 AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand produces a lot of output and a key is
1358 matched early.
1359 - ssh(1): Fix typo in ~C error message for bad port forward
1360 cancellation.
1361 - ssh(1): Show a useful error message when included config files can't
1362 be opened.
1363 - sshd_config(5): Repair accidentally-deleted mention of %k token in
1364 AuthorizedKeysCommand.
1365 - sshd(8): Remove vestiges of previously removed LOGIN_PROGRAM.
1366 - ssh-agent(1): Relax PKCS#11 whitelist to include libexec and common
1367 32-bit compatibility library directories.
1368 - sftp-client(1): Fix non-exploitable integer overflow in SSH2_FXP_NAME
1369 response handling.
1370 - ssh-agent(1): Fix regression in 7.4 of deleting PKCS#11-hosted keys.
1371 It was not possible to delete them except by specifying their full
1372 physical path.
1373 - sshd(8): Avoid sandbox errors for Linux S390 systems using an ICA
1374 crypto coprocessor.
1375 - sshd(8): Fix non-exploitable weakness in seccomp-bpf sandbox arg
1376 inspection.
1377 - ssh-keygen(1), ssh(1), sftp(1): Fix output truncation for various that
1378 contain non-printable characters where the codeset in use is ASCII.

1477openssh (1:7.4p1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
1478
1479 * New upstream release (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.4):
1480 - ssh(1): Remove 3des-cbc from the client's default proposal. 64-bit
1481 block ciphers are not safe in 2016 and we don't want to wait until
1482 attacks like SWEET32 are extended to SSH. As 3des-cbc was the only
1483 mandatory cipher in the SSH RFCs, this may cause problems connecting
1484 to older devices using the default configuration, but it's highly
1485 likely that such devices already need explicit configuration for key
1486 exchange and hostkey algorithms already anyway.
1487 - sshd(8): When a forced-command appears in both a certificate and an
1488 authorized keys/principals command= restriction, sshd will now refuse
1489 to accept the certificate unless they are identical. The previous
1490 (documented) behaviour of having the certificate forced-command
1491 override the other could be a bit confusing and error-prone.
1492 - sshd(8): Remove the UseLogin configuration directive and support for
1493 having /bin/login manage login sessions.
1494 - CVE-2016-10009: ssh-agent(1): Will now refuse to load PKCS#11 modules
1495 from paths outside a trusted whitelist (run-time configurable).
1496 Requests to load modules could be passed via agent forwarding and an
1497 attacker could attempt to load a hostile PKCS#11 module across the
1498 forwarded agent channel: PKCS#11 modules are shared libraries, so this
1499 would result in code execution on the system running the ssh-agent if
1500 the attacker has control of the forwarded agent-socket (on the host
1501 running the sshd server) and the ability to write to the filesystem of
1502 the host running ssh-agent (usually the host running the ssh client)
1503 (closes: #848714).
1504 - CVE-2016-10010: sshd(8): When privilege separation is disabled,
1505 forwarded Unix-domain sockets would be created by sshd(8) with the
1506 privileges of 'root' instead of the authenticated user. This release
1507 refuses Unix-domain socket forwarding when privilege separation is
1508 disabled (Privilege separation has been enabled by default for 14
1509 years) (closes: #848715).
1510 - CVE-2016-10011: sshd(8): Avoid theoretical leak of host private key
1511 material to privilege-separated child processes via realloc() when
1512 reading keys. No such leak was observed in practice for normal-sized
1513 keys, nor does a leak to the child processes directly expose key
1514 material to unprivileged users (closes: #848716).
1515 - CVE-2016-10012: sshd(8): The shared memory manager used by
1516 pre-authentication compression support had a bounds checks that could
1517 be elided by some optimising compilers. Additionally, this memory
1518 manager was incorrectly accessible when pre-authentication compression
1519 was disabled. This could potentially allow attacks against the
1520 privileged monitor process from the sandboxed privilege-separation
1521 process (a compromise of the latter would be required first). This
1522 release removes support for pre-authentication compression from
1523 sshd(8) (closes: #848717).
1524 - SECURITY: sshd(8): Validate address ranges for AllowUser and DenyUsers
1525 directives at configuration load time and refuse to accept invalid
1526 ones. It was previously possible to specify invalid CIDR address
1527 ranges (e.g. user@127.1.2.3/55) and these would always match, possibly
1528 resulting in granting access where it was not intended.
1529 - ssh(1): Add a proxy multiplexing mode to ssh(1) inspired by the
1530 version in PuTTY by Simon Tatham. This allows a multiplexing client
1531 to communicate with the master process using a subset of the SSH
1532 packet and channels protocol over a Unix-domain socket, with the main
1533 process acting as a proxy that translates channel IDs, etc. This
1534 allows multiplexing mode to run on systems that lack file-descriptor
1535 passing (used by current multiplexing code) and potentially, in
1536 conjunction with Unix-domain socket forwarding, with the client and
1537 multiplexing master process on different machines. Multiplexing proxy
1538 mode may be invoked using "ssh -O proxy ...".
1539 - sshd(8): Add a sshd_config DisableForwarding option that disables X11,
1540 agent, TCP, tunnel and Unix domain socket forwarding, as well as
1541 anything else we might implement in the future. Like the 'restrict'
1542 authorized_keys flag, this is intended to be a simple and future-proof
1543 way of restricting an account.
1544 - sshd(8), ssh(1): Support the "curve25519-sha256" key exchange method.
1545 This is identical to the currently-supported method named
1546 "curve25519-sha256@libssh.org".
1547 - sshd(8): Improve handling of SIGHUP by checking to see if sshd is
1548 already daemonised at startup and skipping the call to daemon(3) if it
1549 is. This ensures that a SIGHUP restart of sshd(8) will retain the
1550 same process-ID as the initial execution. sshd(8) will also now
1551 unlink the PidFile prior to SIGHUP restart and re-create it after a
1552 successful restart, rather than leaving a stale file in the case of a
1553 configuration error.
1554 - sshd(8): Allow ClientAliveInterval and ClientAliveCountMax directives
1555 to appear in sshd_config Match blocks.
1556 - sshd(8): Add %-escapes to AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand to match those
1557 supported by AuthorizedKeysCommand (key, key type, fingerprint, etc.)
1558 and a few more to provide access to the contents of the certificate
1559 being offered.
1560 - ssh(1): Allow IdentityFile to successfully load and use certificates
1561 that have no corresponding bare public key.
1562 - ssh(1): Fix public key authentication when multiple authentication is
1563 in use and publickey is not just the first method attempted.
1564 - ssh(1): Improve reporting when attempting to load keys from PKCS#11
1565 tokens with fewer useless log messages and more detail in debug
1566 messages.
1567 - ssh(1): When tearing down ControlMaster connections, don't pollute
1568 stderr when LogLevel=quiet.
1569 - sftp(1): On ^Z wait for underlying ssh(1) to suspend before suspending
1570 sftp(1) to ensure that ssh(1) restores the terminal mode correctly if
1571 suspended during a password prompt.
1572 - ssh(1): Avoid busy-wait when ssh(1) is suspended during a password
1573 prompt (LP: #1646813).
1574 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Correctly report errors during sending of ext-info
1575 messages.
1576 - sshd(8): Fix NULL-deref crash if sshd(8) received an out-of-sequence
1577 NEWKEYS message.
1578 - sshd(8): Correct list of supported signature algorithms sent in the
1579 server-sig-algs extension.
1580 - sshd(8): Fix sending ext_info message if privsep is disabled.
1581 - sshd(8): More strictly enforce the expected ordering of privilege
1582 separation monitor calls used for authentication and allow them only
1583 when their respective authentication methods are enabled in the
1584 configuration.
1585 - sshd_config(5): Use 2001:db8::/32, the official IPv6 subnet for
1586 configuration examples.
1587 - On environments configured with Turkish locales, fall back to the
1588 C/POSIX locale to avoid errors in configuration parsing caused by that
1589 locale's unique handling of the letters 'i' and 'I' (LP: #1638338).
1590 - contrib: Add a gnome-ssh-askpass3 with GTK+3 support.
1591 - sshd(8): Improve PRNG reseeding across privilege separation and force
1592 libcrypto to obtain a high-quality seed before chroot or sandboxing.
1593 * Apply "wrap-and-sort -at -f debian/control -f debian/tests/control".
1594 * Remove entries related to protocol 1 from the default sshd_config
1595 generated on new installations.
1596 * Remove some advice related to protocol 1 from README.Debian.
1597 * Start handling /etc/ssh/sshd_config using ucf. The immediate motivation
1598 for this is to deal with deprecations of options related to protocol 1,
1599 but something like this has been needed for a long time (closes:
1600 #419574, #848089):
1601 - sshd_config is now a slightly-patched version of upstream's, and only
1602 contains non-default settings (closes: #147201).
1603 - I've included as many historical md5sums of default versions of
1604 sshd_config as I could reconstruct from version control, but I'm sure
1605 I've missed some.
1606 - Explicitly synchronise the debconf database with the current
1607 configuration file state in openssh-server.config, to ensure that the
1608 PermitRootLogin setting is properly preserved.
1609 - UsePrivilegeSeparation now defaults to the stronger "sandbox" rather
1610 than "yes", per upstream.
1611 * Remove redundant "GSSAPIDelegateCredentials no" from ssh_config (already
1612 the upstream default), and document that setting ServerAliveInterval to
1613 300 by default if BatchMode is set is Debian-specific (closes: #765630).
1614 * Build gnome-ssh-askpass with GTK+ 3 (LP: #801187).
1615 * When running regression tests under autopkgtest, use a non-root user
1616 with passwordless sudo.

1658
1659 * New upstream release (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.3):
1660 - SECURITY: sshd(8): Mitigate a potential denial-of-service attack
1661 against the system's crypt(3) function via sshd(8). An attacker could
1662 send very long passwords that would cause excessive CPU use in
1663 crypt(3). sshd(8) now refuses to accept password authentication
1664 requests of length greater than 1024 characters.
1665 - SECURITY: ssh(1), sshd(8): Fix observable timing weakness in the CBC
1666 padding oracle countermeasures. Note that CBC ciphers are disabled by
1667 default and only included for legacy compatibility.
1668 - SECURITY: ssh(1), sshd(8): Improve operation ordering of MAC
1669 verification for Encrypt-then-MAC (EtM) mode transport MAC algorithms
1670 to verify the MAC before decrypting any ciphertext. This removes the
1671 possibility of timing differences leaking facts about the plaintext,
1672 though no such leakage has been observed.
1673 - ssh(1): Add a ProxyJump option and corresponding -J command-line flag
1674 to allow simplified indirection through a one or more SSH bastions or
1675 "jump hosts".
1676 - ssh(1): Add an IdentityAgent option to allow specifying specific agent
1677 sockets instead of accepting one from the environment.
1678 - ssh(1): Allow ExitOnForwardFailure and ClearAllForwardings to be
1679 optionally overridden when using ssh -W.
1680 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Implement support for the IUTF8 terminal mode as per
1681 draft-sgtatham-secsh-iutf8-00 (closes: #337041, LP: #394570).
1682 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Add support for additional fixed Diffie-Hellman 2K,
1683 4K and 8K groups from draft-ietf-curdle-ssh-kex-sha2-03.
1684 - ssh-keygen(1), ssh(1), sshd(8): Support SHA256 and SHA512 RSA
1685 signatures in certificates.
1686 - ssh(1): Add an Include directive for ssh_config(5) files (closes:
1687 #536031).
1688 - ssh(1): Permit UTF-8 characters in pre-authentication banners sent
1689 from the server.
1690 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Reduce the syslog level of some relatively common
1691 protocol events from LOG_CRIT.
1692 - sshd(8): Refuse AuthenticationMethods="" in configurations and accept
1693 AuthenticationMethods=any for the default behaviour of not requiring
1694 multiple authentication.
1695 - sshd(8): Remove obsolete and misleading "POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT!"
1696 message when forward and reverse DNS don't match.
1697 - ssh(1): Deduplicate LocalForward and RemoteForward entries to fix
1698 failures when both ExitOnForwardFailure and hostname canonicalisation
1699 are enabled.
1700 - sshd(8): Remove fallback from moduli to obsolete "primes" file that
1701 was deprecated in 2001 (LP: #1528251).
1702 - sshd_config(5): Correct description of UseDNS: it affects ssh hostname
1703 processing for authorized_keys, not known_hosts.
1704 - sshd(8): Send ClientAliveInterval pings when a time-based RekeyLimit
1705 is set; previously keepalive packets were not being sent.
1706 - sshd(8): Whitelist more architectures to enable the seccomp-bpf
1707 sandbox.
1708 - scp(1): Respect the local user's LC_CTYPE locale (closes: #396295).
1709 - Take character display widths into account for the progressmeter
1710 (closes: #407088).

1718 as an example and add a section to README.Debian. libpam-systemd >= 230

1740 * Recommend libpam-systemd from openssh-server. It's a much better
1741 solution than the above for systemd users, but I'm wary of depending on

1743 upgrade for non-systemd users.

1813
1814 * New upstream release (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.2):
1815 - This release disables a number of legacy cryptographic algorithms by
1816 default in ssh:
1817 + Several ciphers blowfish-cbc, cast128-cbc, all arcfour variants and
1818 the rijndael-cbc aliases for AES.
1819 + MD5-based and truncated HMAC algorithms.
1820 These algorithms are already disabled by default in sshd.
1821 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Remove unfinished and unused roaming code (was
1822 already forcibly disabled in OpenSSH 7.1p2).
1823 - ssh(1): Eliminate fallback from untrusted X11 forwarding to trusted
1824 forwarding when the X server disables the SECURITY extension.
1825 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Increase the minimum modulus size supported for
1826 diffie-hellman-group-exchange to 2048 bits.
1827 - sshd(8): Pre-auth sandboxing is now enabled by default (previous
1828 releases enabled it for new installations via sshd_config).
1829 - all: Add support for RSA signatures using SHA-256/512 hash algorithms
1830 based on draft-rsa-dsa-sha2-256-03.txt and draft-ssh-ext-info-04.txt.
1831 - ssh(1): Add an AddKeysToAgent client option which can be set to 'yes',
1832 'no', 'ask', or 'confirm', and defaults to 'no'. When enabled, a
1833 private key that is used during authentication will be added to
1834 ssh-agent if it is running (with confirmation enabled if set to
1835 'confirm').
1836 - sshd(8): Add a new authorized_keys option "restrict" that includes all
1837 current and future key restrictions (no-*-forwarding, etc.). Also add
1838 permissive versions of the existing restrictions, e.g. "no-pty" ->
1839 "pty". This simplifies the task of setting up restricted keys and
1840 ensures they are maximally-restricted, regardless of any permissions
1841 we might implement in the future.
1842 - ssh(1): Add ssh_config CertificateFile option to explicitly list
1843 certificates.
1844 - ssh-keygen(1): Allow ssh-keygen to change the key comment for all
1845 supported formats (closes: #811125).
1846 - ssh-keygen(1): Allow fingerprinting from standard input, e.g.
1847 "ssh-keygen -lf -" (closes: #509058).
1848 - ssh-keygen(1): Allow fingerprinting multiple public keys in a file,
1849 e.g. "ssh-keygen -lf ~/.ssh/authorized_keys".
1850 - sshd(8): Support "none" as an argument for sshd_config Foreground and
1851 ChrootDirectory. Useful inside Match blocks to override a global
1852 default.
1853 - ssh-keygen(1): Support multiple certificates (one per line) and
1854 reading from standard input (using "-f -") for "ssh-keygen -L"
1855 - ssh-keyscan(1): Add "ssh-keyscan -c ..." flag to allow fetching
1856 certificates instead of plain keys.
1857 - ssh(1): Better handle anchored FQDNs (e.g. 'cvs.openbsd.org.') in
1858 hostname canonicalisation - treat them as already canonical and remove
1859 the trailing '.' before matching ssh_config.
1860 - sftp(1): Existing destination directories should not terminate
1861 recursive uploads (regression in OpenSSH 6.8; LP: #1553378).
1862 * Use HTTPS for Vcs-* URLs, and link to cgit rather than gitweb.
1863 * Restore slogin symlinks for compatibility, although they were removed
1864 upstream.

1952 instructions at http://www.openssh.com/legacy.html

1954 default at run-time. These may be re-enabled using the instructions
1955 at http://www.openssh.com/legacy.html
1956 - Support for the legacy v00 cert format has been removed.
1957 - The default for the sshd_config(5) PermitRootLogin option has changed
1958 from "yes" to "prohibit-password".
1959 - PermitRootLogin=without-password/prohibit-password now bans all
1960 interactive authentication methods, allowing only public-key,
1961 hostbased and GSSAPI authentication (previously it permitted
1962 keyboard-interactive and password-less authentication if those were
1963 enabled).
1964 - ssh_config(5): Add PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes option to control which
1965 public key types are available for user authentication.
1966 - sshd_config(5): Add HostKeyAlgorithms option to control which public
1967 key types are offered for host authentications.

1969 HostKeyAlgorithms, PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes and HostbasedKeyTypes
1970 options to allow appending to the default set of algorithms instead of
1971 replacing it. Options may now be prefixed with a '+' to append to the
1972 default, e.g. "HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss".
1973 - sshd_config(5): PermitRootLogin now accepts an argument of
1974 'prohibit-password' as a less-ambiguous synonym of 'without-
1975 password'.
1976 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Add compatability workarounds for Cisco and more

1991 prohibit-password/without-password that could, depending on
1992 compile-time configuration, permit password authentication to root
1993 while preventing other forms of authentication. This problem was

2047 may record the keys in known_hosts, allowing it to upgrade to better
2048 host key algorithms and a server to gracefully rotate its keys.
2049 The client side of this is controlled by a UpdateHostkeys config
2050 option (default off).
2051 - ssh(1): Add a ssh_config HostbasedKeyType option to control which host
2052 public key types are tried during host-based authentication.
2053 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Fix connection-killing host key mismatch errors when
2054 sshd offers multiple ECDSA keys of different lengths.
2055 - ssh(1): When host name canonicalisation is enabled, try to parse host
2056 names as addresses before looking them up for canonicalisation. Fixes
2057 bz#2074 and avoids needless DNS lookups in some cases.
2058 - ssh(1), ssh-keysign(8): Make ed25519 keys work for host based
2059 authentication.
2060 - sshd(8): SSH protocol v.1 workaround for the Meyer, et al,
2061 Bleichenbacher Side Channel Attack. Fake up a bignum key before RSA
2062 decryption.
2063 - sshd(8): Remember which public keys have been used for authentication
2064 and refuse to accept previously-used keys. This allows
2065 AuthenticationMethods=publickey,publickey to require that users
2066 authenticate using two _different_ public keys.
2067 - sshd(8): add sshd_config HostbasedAcceptedKeyTypes and
2068 PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes options to allow sshd to control what public
2069 key types will be accepted (closes: #481133). Currently defaults to
2070 all.
2071 - sshd(8): Don't count partial authentication success as a failure
2072 against MaxAuthTries.
2073 - ssh(1): Add RevokedHostKeys option for the client to allow text-file
2074 or KRL-based revocation of host keys.
2075 - ssh-keygen(1), sshd(8): Permit KRLs that revoke certificates by serial
2076 number or key ID without scoping to a particular CA.
2077 - ssh(1): Add a "Match canonical" criteria that allows ssh_config Match
2078 blocks to trigger only in the second config pass.
2079 - ssh(1): Add a -G option to ssh that causes it to parse its
2080 configuration and dump the result to stdout, similar to "sshd -T".
2081 - ssh(1): Allow Match criteria to be negated. E.g. "Match !host".
2082 - ssh-keyscan(1): ssh-keyscan has been made much more robust against
2083 servers that hang or violate the SSH protocol (closes: #241119).
2084 - ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): Fix regression bz#2306: Key path names were
2085 being lost as comment fields (closes: #787776).
2086 - ssh(1): Allow ssh_config Port options set in the second config parse
2087 phase to be applied (they were being ignored; closes: #774369).
2088 - ssh(1): Tweak config re-parsing with host canonicalisation - make the
2089 second pass through the config files always run when host name
2090 canonicalisation is enabled (and not whenever the host name changes)
2091 - ssh(1): Fix passing of wildcard forward bind addresses when connection
2092 multiplexing is in use.
2093 - ssh-keygen(1): Fix broken private key conversion from non-OpenSSH
2094 formats.
2095 - ssh-keygen(1): Fix KRL generation bug when multiple CAs are in use.
2096 * New upstream release (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.9):
2097 - CVE-2015-5352: ssh(1): When forwarding X11 connections with
2098 ForwardX11Trusted=no, connections made after ForwardX11Timeout expired
2099 could be permitted and no longer subject to XSECURITY restrictions
2100 because of an ineffective timeout check in ssh(1) coupled with "fail
2101 open" behaviour in the X11 server when clients attempted connections
2102 with expired credentials (closes: #790798). This problem was reported
2103 by Jann Horn.
2104 - SECURITY: ssh-agent(1): Fix weakness of agent locking (ssh-add -x) to
2105 password guessing by implementing an increasing failure delay, storing
2106 a salted hash of the password rather than the password itself and
2107 using a timing-safe comparison function for verifying unlock attempts.
2108 This problem was reported by Ryan Castellucci.
2109 - sshd(8): Support admin-specified arguments to AuthorizedKeysCommand
2110 (closes: #740494).
2111 - sshd(8): Add AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand that allows retrieving
2112 authorized principals information from a subprocess rather than a
2113 file.
2114 - ssh(1), ssh-add(1): Support PKCS#11 devices with external PIN entry
2115 devices.
2116 - ssh-keygen(1): Support "ssh-keygen -lF hostname" to search known_hosts
2117 and print key hashes rather than full keys.
2118 - ssh-agent(1): Add -D flag to leave ssh-agent in foreground without
2119 enabling debug mode.
2120 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Deprecate legacy SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST_OLD
2121 message and do not try to use it against some 3rd-party SSH
2122 implementations that use it (older PuTTY, WinSCP).
2123 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Cap DH-GEX group size at 4Kbits for Cisco
2124 implementations as some would fail when attempting to use group sizes
2125 >4K (closes: #740307, LP: #1287222).
2126 - ssh(1): Fix out-of-bound read in EscapeChar configuration option
2127 parsing.
2128 - sshd(8): Fix application of PermitTunnel, LoginGraceTime,
2129 AuthenticationMethods and StreamLocalBindMask options in Match blocks.
2130 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Improve disconnection message on TCP reset.
2131 - ssh(1): Remove failed remote forwards established by multiplexing from
2132 the list of active forwards.
2133 - sshd(8): Make parsing of authorized_keys "environment=" options
2134 independent of PermitUserEnv being enabled.
2135 - sshd(8): Fix post-auth crash with permitopen=none (closes: #778807).
2136 - ssh(1), ssh-add(1), ssh-keygen(1): Allow new-format private keys to be
2137 encrypted with AEAD ciphers.
2138 - ssh(1): Allow ListenAddress, Port and AddressFamily configuration
2139 options to appear in any order.
2140 - sshd(8): Check for and reject missing arguments for VersionAddendum
2141 and ForceCommand.
2142 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Don't treat unknown certificate extensions as fatal.
2143 - ssh-keygen(1): Make stdout and stderr output consistent.
2144 - ssh(1): Mention missing DISPLAY environment in debug log when X11
2145 forwarding requested.
2146 - sshd(8): Correctly record login when UseLogin is set.
2147 - sshd(8): Add some missing options to sshd -T output and fix output of
2148 VersionAddendum and HostCertificate.
2149 - Document and improve consistency of options that accept a "none"
2150 argument: TrustedUserCAKeys, RevokedKeys, AuthorizedPrincipalsFile.
2151 - ssh(1): Include remote username in debug output.
2152 - sshd(8): Avoid compatibility problem with some versions of Tera Term,
2153 which would crash when they received the hostkeys notification message
2154 (hostkeys-00@openssh.com).
2155 - sshd(8): Mention ssh-keygen -E as useful when comparing legacy MD5
2156 host key fingerprints.
2157 - ssh(1): Clarify pseudo-terminal request behaviour and make manual
2158 language consistent.
2159 - ssh(1): Document that the TERM environment variable is not subject to
2160 SendEnv and AcceptEnv; bz#2386
2161 - sshd(8): Format UsePAM setting when using sshd -T (closes: #767648).
2162 - moduli(5): Update DH-GEX moduli (closes: #787037).
2163 * There are some things I want to fix before upgrading to 7.0p1, though I
2164 intend to do that soon. In the meantime, backport some patches, mainly
2165 to fix security issues:
2166 - SECURITY: sshd(8): OpenSSH 6.8 and 6.9 incorrectly set TTYs to be
2167 world-writable. Local attackers may be able to write arbitrary
2168 messages to logged-in users, including terminal escape sequences.
2169 Reported by Nikolay Edigaryev.
2170 - SECURITY: sshd(8): Fixed a privilege separation weakness related to
2171 PAM support. Attackers who could successfully compromise the
2172 pre-authentication process for remote code execution and who had valid
2173 credentials on the host could impersonate other users. Reported by
2174 Moritz Jodeit.
2175 - SECURITY: sshd(8): Fixed a use-after-free bug related to PAM support
2176 that was reachable by attackers who could compromise the
2177 pre-authentication process for remote code execution (closes:
2178 #795711). Also reported by Moritz Jodeit.
2179 - CVE-2015-5600: sshd(8): Fix circumvention of MaxAuthTries using
2180 keyboard-interactive authentication (closes: #793616). By specifying
2181 a long, repeating keyboard-interactive "devices" string, an attacker
2182 could request the same authentication method be tried thousands of
2183 times in a single pass. The LoginGraceTime timeout in sshd(8) and any
2184 authentication failure delays implemented by the authentication
2185 mechanism itself were still applied. Found by Kingcope.
2186 - Let principals-command.sh work for noexec /var/run.
2187 * Thanks to Jakub Jelen of Red Hat for Fedora's rebased version of the
2188 GSSAPI key exchange patch.
2189 * Document the Debian-specific change to the default value of
2190 ForwardX11Trusted in ssh(1) (closes: #781469).

2247
2248 * New upstream release (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.7):
2249 - sshd(8): The default set of ciphers and MACs has been altered to
2250 remove unsafe algorithms. In particular, CBC ciphers and arcfour* are
2251 disabled by default. The full set of algorithms remains available if
2252 configured explicitly via the Ciphers and MACs sshd_config options.
2253 - ssh(1), sshd(8): Add support for Unix domain socket forwarding. A
2254 remote TCP port may be forwarded to a local Unix domain socket and
2255 vice versa or both ends may be a Unix domain socket (closes: #236718).
2256 - ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): Add support for SSHFP DNS records for ED25519
2257 key types.
2258 - sftp(1): Allow resumption of interrupted uploads.
2259 - ssh(1): When rekeying, skip file/DNS lookups of the hostkey if it is
2260 the same as the one sent during initial key exchange.
2261 - sshd(8): Allow explicit ::1 and 127.0.0.1 forwarding bind addresses
2262 when GatewayPorts=no; allows client to choose address family.
2263 - sshd(8): Add a sshd_config PermitUserRC option to control whether
2264 ~/.ssh/rc is executed, mirroring the no-user-rc authorized_keys
2265 option.
2266 - ssh(1): Add a %C escape sequence for LocalCommand and ControlPath that
2267 expands to a unique identifier based on a hash of the tuple of (local
2268 host, remote user, hostname, port). Helps avoid exceeding miserly
2269 pathname limits for Unix domain sockets in multiplexing control paths.
2270 - sshd(8): Make the "Too many authentication failures" message include
2271 the user, source address, port and protocol in a format similar to the
2272 authentication success / failure messages.
2273 - Use CLOCK_BOOTTIME in preference to CLOCK_MONOTONIC when it is
2274 available. It considers time spent suspended, thereby ensuring
2275 timeouts (e.g. for expiring agent keys) fire correctly (closes:
2276 #734553).
2277 - Use prctl() to prevent sftp-server from accessing
2278 /proc/self/{mem,maps}.
2279 * Restore TCP wrappers support, removed upstream in 6.7. It is true that
2280 dropping this reduces preauth attack surface in sshd. On the other
2281 hand, this support seems to be quite widely used, and abruptly dropping
2282 it (from the perspective of users who don't read openssh-unix-dev) could
2283 easily cause more serious problems in practice. It's not entirely clear
2284 what the right long-term answer for Debian is, but it at least probably
2285 doesn't involve dropping this feature shortly before a freeze.
2286 * Replace patch to disable OpenSSL version check with an updated version
2287 of Kurt Roeckx's patch from #732940 to just avoid checking the status
2288 field.
2289 * Build-depend on a new enough dpkg-dev for dpkg-buildflags, rather than
2290 simply a new enough dpkg.
2291 * Simplify debian/rules using /usr/share/dpkg/buildflags.mk.
2292 * Use Package-Type rather than XC-Package-Type, now that it is an official
2293 field.
2294 * Run a subset of the upstream regression test suite at package build
2295 time, and the rest of it under autopkgtest.

2447 * Fix sysvinit->systemd transition code to cope with still-running
2448 sysvinit jobs being considered active by systemd (thanks, Uoti Urpala
2449 and Michael Biebl).
2450 * Bump guard version for sysvinit->systemd transition to 1:6.5p1-3; we may
2451 have got it wrong before, and it's fairly harmless to repeat it.
2452 * Remove tests for whether /dev/null is a character device from the
2453 Upstart job and the systemd service files; it's there to avoid a
2454 confusing failure mode in daemon(), but with modern init systems we use
2455 the -D option to suppress daemonisation anyway.
2456 * Refer to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2 in debian/copyright (for the
2457 Debian patch) rather than plain GPL.
2458 * Drop some very old Conflicts and Replaces (ssh (<< 1:3.8.1p1-9),
2459 rsh-client (<< 0.16.1-1), ssh-krb5 (<< 1:4.3p2-7), ssh-nonfree (<< 2),
2460 and openssh-client (<< 1:3.8.1p1-11)). These all relate to pre-etch
2461 versions, for which we no longer have maintainer script code, and per
2462 policy they would have to become Breaks nowadays anyway.
2463 * Policy version 3.9.5.
2464 * Drop unnecessary -1 in zlib1g Build-Depends version.
2465 * Tweak dh_systemd_enable invocations to avoid lots of error noise.

2479
2480 * New upstream release (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.5,
2481 LP: #1275068):
2482 - ssh(1): Add support for client-side hostname canonicalisation using a
2483 set of DNS suffixes and rules in ssh_config(5). This allows
2484 unqualified names to be canonicalised to fully-qualified domain names
2485 to eliminate ambiguity when looking up keys in known_hosts or checking
2486 host certificate names (closes: #115286).
2487 * Switch to git; adjust Vcs-* fields.
2488 * Convert to git-dpm, and drop source package documentation associated
2489 with the old bzr/quilt patch handling workflow.
2490 * Drop ssh-vulnkey and the associated ssh/ssh-add/sshd integration code,
2491 leaving only basic configuration file compatibility, since it has been
2492 nearly six years since the original vulnerability and this code is not
2493 likely to be of much value any more (closes: #481853, #570651). See
2494 https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/09/msg00240.html for my full
2495 reasoning.
2496 * Add OpenPGP signature checking configuration to watch file (thanks,
2497 Daniel Kahn Gillmor; closes: #732441).
2498 * Add the pam_keyinit session module, to create a new session keyring on
2499 login (closes: #734816).
2500 * Incorporate default path changes from shadow 1:4.0.18.1-8, removing
2501 /usr/bin/X11 (closes: #644521).
2502 * Generate ED25519 host keys on fresh installations. Upgraders who wish
2503 to add such host keys should manually add 'HostKey
2504 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key' to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and run
2505 'ssh-keygen -q -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key -N "" -t ed25519'.
2506 * Drop long-obsolete "SSH now uses protocol 2 by default" section from
2507 README.Debian.
2508 * Add systemd support (thanks, Sven Joachim; closes: #676830).

2524 + sftp(1): add support for resuming partial downloads using the
2525 "reget" command and on the sftp commandline or on the "get"
2526 commandline using the "-a" (append) option (closes: #158590).
2527 + ssh(1): add an "IgnoreUnknown" configuration option to selectively
2528 suppress errors arising from unknown configuration directives
2529 (closes: #436052).
2530 + sftp(1): update progressmeter when data is acknowledged, not when
2531 it's sent (partially addresses #708372).
2532 + ssh(1): do not fatally exit when attempting to cleanup multiplexing-
2533 created channels that are incompletely opened (closes: #651357).
2534 - 6.4/6.4p1 (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.4):
2535 + CVE-2013-4548: sshd(8): fix a memory corruption problem triggered
2536 during rekeying when an AES-GCM cipher is selected (closes:
2537 #729029). Full details of the vulnerability are available at:
2538 http://www.openssh.com/txt/gcmrekey.adv
2539 * When running under Upstart, only consider the daemon started once it is
2540 ready to accept connections (by raising SIGSTOP at that point and using
2541 "expect stop").

2586
2587openssh (1:6.2p2-2) unstable; urgency=low
2588
2589 * Change start condition of Upstart job to be just the standard "runlevel
2590 [2345]", rather than "filesystem or runlevel [2345]"; the latter makes
2591 it unreasonably difficult to ensure that urandom starts before ssh, and
2592 is not really necessary since one of static-network-up and failsafe-boot
2593 is guaranteed to happen and will trigger entry to the default runlevel,
2594 and we don't care about ssh starting before the network (LP: #1098299).
2595 * Drop conffile handling for direct upgrades from pre-split ssh package;
2596 this was originally added in 1:4.3p2-7 / 1:4.3p2-8, and contained a
2597 truly ghastly hack around a misbehaviour in sarge's dpkg. Since this is
2598 now four Debian releases ago, we can afford to drop this and simplify
2599 the packaging.
2600 * Remove ssh/use_old_init_script, which was a workaround for a very old
2601 bug in /etc/init.d/ssh. If anyone has ignored this for >10 years then
2602 they aren't going to be convinced now (closes: #214182).
2603 * Remove support for upgrading directly from ssh-nonfree.
2604 * Remove lots of maintainer script support for direct upgrades from
2605 pre-etch (three releases before current stable).
2606 * Add #DEBHELPER# tokens to openssh-client.postinst and
2607 openssh-server.postinst.
2608 * Replace old manual conffile handling code with dpkg-maintscript-helper,
2609 via dh_installdeb.
2610 * Switch to new unified layout for Upstart jobs as documented in
2611 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UpstartCompatibleInitScripts: the init script
2612 checks for a running Upstart, and we now let dh_installinit handle most
2613 of the heavy lifting in maintainer scripts. Ubuntu users should be
2614 essentially unaffected except that sshd may no longer start
2615 automatically in chroots if the running Upstart predates 0.9.0; but the
2616 main goal is simply not to break when openssh-server is installed in a
2617 chroot.
2618 * Remove the check for vulnerable host keys; this was first added five
2619 years ago, and everyone should have upgraded through a version that
2620 applied these checks by now. The ssh-vulnkey tool and the blacklisting
2621 support in sshd are still here, at least for the moment.
2622 * This removes the last of our uses of debconf (closes: #221531).
2623 * Use the pam_loginuid session module (thanks, Laurent Bigonville; closes:
2624 #677440, LP: #1067779).
2625 * Bracket our session stack with calls to pam_selinux close/open (thanks,
2626 Laurent Bigonville; closes: #679458).

2628 binary packages, as intended since 1:6.1p1-2.

2895 * New upstream release (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-5.7):
2896 - Implement Elliptic Curve Cryptography modes for key exchange (ECDH)
2897 and host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA
2898 offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same equivalent
2899 symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys.
2900 - sftp(1)/sftp-server(8): add a protocol extension to support a hard
2901 link operation. It is available through the "ln" command in the
2902 client. The old "ln" behaviour of creating a symlink is available
2903 using its "-s" option or through the preexisting "symlink" command.
2904 - scp(1): Add a new -3 option to scp: Copies between two remote hosts
2905 are transferred through the local host (closes: #508613).
2906 - ssh(1): "atomically" create the listening mux socket by binding it on
2907 a temporary name and then linking it into position after listen() has
2908 succeeded. This allows the mux clients to determine that the server
2909 socket is either ready or stale without races (closes: #454784).
2910 Stale server sockets are now automatically removed (closes: #523250).
2911 - ssh(1): install a SIGCHLD handler to reap expired child process
2912 (closes: #594687).
2913 - ssh(1)/ssh-agent(1): honour $TMPDIR for client xauth and ssh-agent
2914 temporary directories (closes: #357469, although only if you arrange
2915 for ssh-agent to actually see $TMPDIR since the setgid bit will cause
2916 it to be stripped off).
2917 * Update to current GSSAPI patch from
2918 http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/openssh-5.7p1-gsskex-all-20110125.patch:
2919 - Add GSSAPIServerIdentity option.
2920 * Generate ECDSA host keys on fresh installations. Upgraders who wish to
2921 add such host keys should manually add 'HostKey
2922 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key' to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and run 'ssh-keygen
2923 -q -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key -N "" -t ecdsa'.
2924 * Build-depend on libssl-dev (>= 0.9.8g) to ensure sufficient ECC support.
2925 * Backport SELinux build fix from CVS.
2926 * Rearrange selinux-role.patch so that it links properly given this
2927 SELinux build fix.

2957 Match blocks (closes: #549858).

3044
3045 * New upstream release (LP: #535029).
3046 - After a transition period of about 10 years, this release disables SSH
3047 protocol 1 by default. Clients and servers that need to use the
3048 legacy protocol must explicitly enable it in ssh_config / sshd_config
3049 or on the command-line.
3050 - Remove the libsectok/OpenSC-based smartcard code and add support for
3051 PKCS#11 tokens. This support is enabled by default in the Debian
3052 packaging, since it now doesn't involve additional library
3053 dependencies (closes: #231472, LP: #16918).
3054 - Add support for certificate authentication of users and hosts using a
3055 new, minimal OpenSSH certificate format (closes: #482806).
3056 - Added a 'netcat mode' to ssh(1): "ssh -W host:port ...".
3057 - Add the ability to revoke keys in sshd(8) and ssh(1). (For the Debian
3058 package, this overlaps with the key blacklisting facility added in
3059 openssh 1:4.7p1-9, but with different file formats and slightly
3060 different scopes; for the moment, I've roughly merged the two.)
3061 - Various multiplexing improvements, including support for requesting
3062 port-forwardings via the multiplex protocol (closes: #360151).
3063 - Allow setting an explicit umask on the sftp-server(8) commandline to
3064 override whatever default the user has (closes: #496843).
3065 - Many sftp client improvements, including tab-completion, more options,
3066 and recursive transfer support for get/put (LP: #33378). The old
3067 mget/mput commands never worked properly and have been removed
3068 (closes: #270399, #428082).
3069 - Do not prompt for a passphrase if we fail to open a keyfile, and log
3070 the reason why the open failed to debug (closes: #431538).
3071 - Prevent sftp from crashing when given a "-" without a command. Also,
3072 allow whitespace to follow a "-" (closes: #531561).
3073
3074 * Fix 'debian/rules quilt-setup' to avoid writing .orig files if some
3075 patches apply with offsets.
3076 * Include debian/ssh-askpass-gnome.png in the Debian tarball now that
3077 we're using a source format that permits this, rather than messing
3078 around with uudecode.
3079 * Drop compatibility with the old gssapi mechanism used in ssh-krb5 <<
3080 3.8.1p1-1. Simon Wilkinson refused this patch since the old gssapi
3081 mechanism was removed due to a serious security hole, and since these
3082 versions of ssh-krb5 are no longer security-supported by Debian I don't
3083 think there's any point keeping client compatibility for them.
3084 * Fix substitution of ETC_PAM_D_SSH, following the rename in 1:4.7p1-4.
3085 * Hardcode the location of xauth to /usr/bin/xauth rather than
3086 /usr/bin/X11/xauth (thanks, Aron Griffis; closes: #575725, LP: #8440).
3087 xauth no longer depends on x11-common, so we're no longer guaranteed to
3088 have the /usr/bin/X11 symlink available. I was taking advantage of the
3089 /usr/bin/X11 symlink to smooth X's move to /usr/bin, but this is far
3090 enough in the past now that it's probably safe to just use /usr/bin.
3091 * Remove SSHD_OOM_ADJUST configuration. sshd now unconditionally makes
3092 itself non-OOM-killable, and doesn't require configuration to avoid log
3093 spam in virtualisation containers (closes: #555625).
3094 * Drop Debian-specific removal of OpenSSL version check. Upstream ignores
3095 the two patchlevel nybbles now, which is sufficient to address the
3096 original reason this change was introduced, and it appears that any
3097 change in the major/minor/fix nybbles would involve a new libssl package
3098 name. (We'd still lose if the status nybble were ever changed, but that
3099 would mean somebody had packaged a development/beta version rather than
3100 a proper release, which doesn't appear to be normal practice.)
3101 * Drop most of our "LogLevel SILENT" (-qq) patch. This was originally
3102 introduced to match the behaviour of non-free SSH, in which -q does not
3103 suppress fatal errors, but matching the behaviour of OpenSSH upstream is
3104 much more important nowadays. We no longer document that -q does not
3105 suppress fatal errors (closes: #280609). Migrate "LogLevel SILENT" to
3106 "LogLevel QUIET" in sshd_config on upgrade.
3107 * Policy version 3.8.4:

3179 - Change the default cipher order to prefer the AES CTR modes and the
3180 revised "arcfour256" mode to CBC mode ciphers that are susceptible to
3181 CPNI-957037 "Plaintext Recovery Attack Against SSH".
3182 - Add countermeasures to mitigate CPNI-957037-style attacks against the
3183 SSH protocol's use of CBC-mode ciphers. Upon detection of an invalid
3184 packet length or Message Authentication Code, ssh/sshd will continue
3185 reading up to the maximum supported packet length rather than
3186 immediately terminating the connection. This eliminates most of the
3187 known differences in behaviour that leaked information about the
3188 plaintext of injected data which formed the basis of this attack
3189 (closes: #506115, LP: #379329).

3334
3335 * New upstream release (closes: #474301). Important changes not previously
3336 backported to 4.7p1:
3337 - 4.9/4.9p1 (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-4.9):
3338 + Added chroot(2) support for sshd(8), controlled by a new option
3339 "ChrootDirectory" (closes: #139047, LP: #24777).
3340 + Linked sftp-server(8) into sshd(8). The internal sftp server is used
3341 when the command "internal-sftp" is specified in a Subsystem or
3342 ForceCommand declaration. When used with ChrootDirectory, the
3343 internal sftp server requires no special configuration of files
3344 inside the chroot environment.
3345 + Added a protocol extension method "posix-rename@openssh.com" for
3346 sftp-server(8) to perform POSIX atomic rename() operations; sftp(1)
3347 prefers this if available (closes: #308561).
3348 + Removed the fixed limit of 100 file handles in sftp-server(8).
3349 + ssh(8) will now skip generation of SSH protocol 1 ephemeral server
3350 keys when in inetd mode and protocol 2 connections are negotiated.
3351 This speeds up protocol 2 connections to inetd-mode servers that
3352 also allow Protocol 1.
3353 + Accept the PermitRootLogin directive in a sshd_config(5) Match
3354 block. Allows for, e.g. permitting root only from the local network.
3355 + Reworked sftp(1) argument splitting and escaping to be more
3356 internally consistent (i.e. between sftp commands) and more
3357 consistent with sh(1). Please note that this will change the
3358 interpretation of some quoted strings, especially those with
3359 embedded backslash escape sequences.
3360 + Support "Banner=none" in sshd_config(5) to disable sending of a
3361 pre-login banner (e.g. in a Match block).
3362 + ssh(1) ProxyCommands are now executed with $SHELL rather than
3363 /bin/sh.
3364 + ssh(1)'s ConnectTimeout option is now applied to both the TCP
3365 connection and the SSH banner exchange (previously it just covered
3366 the TCP connection). This allows callers of ssh(1) to better detect
3367 and deal with stuck servers that accept a TCP connection but don't
3368 progress the protocol, and also makes ConnectTimeout useful for
3369 connections via a ProxyCommand.
3370 + scp(1) incorrectly reported "stalled" on slow copies (closes:
3371 #140828).
3372 + scp(1) date underflow for timestamps before epoch.
3373 + ssh(1) used the obsolete SIG DNS RRtype for host keys in DNS,
3374 instead of the current standard RRSIG.
3375 + Correctly drain ACKs when a sftp(1) upload write fails midway,
3376 avoids a fatal() exit from what should be a recoverable condition.
3377 + Fixed ssh-keygen(1) selective host key hashing (i.e. "ssh-keygen -HF
3378 hostname") to not include any IP address in the data to be hashed.
3379 + Make ssh(1) skip listening on the IPv6 wildcard address when a
3380 binding address of 0.0.0.0 is used against an old SSH server that
3381 does not support the RFC4254 syntax for wildcard bind addresses.
3382 + Enable IPV6_V6ONLY socket option on sshd(8) listen socket, as is
3383 already done for X11/TCP forwarding sockets (closes: #439661).
3384 + Fix FD leak that could hang a ssh(1) connection multiplexing master.
3385 + Make ssh(1) -q option documentation consistent with reality.
3386 + Fixed sshd(8) PAM support not calling pam_session_close(), or
3387 failing to call it with root privileges (closes: #372680).
3388 + Fix activation of OpenSSL engine support when requested in configure
3389 (LP: #119295).
3390 + Cache SELinux status earlier so we know if it's enabled after a
3391 chroot (LP: #237557).
3392 - 5.1/5.1p1 (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-5.1):
3393 + Introduce experimental SSH Fingerprint ASCII Visualisation to ssh(1)
3394 and ssh-keygen(1). Visual fingerprint display is controlled by a new
3395 ssh_config(5) option "VisualHostKey". The intent is to render SSH
3396 host keys in a visual form that is amenable to easy recall and
3397 rejection of changed host keys.
3398 + sshd_config(5) now supports CIDR address/masklen matching in "Match
3399 address" blocks, with a fallback to classic wildcard matching.
3400 + sshd(8) now supports CIDR matching in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
3401 from="..." restrictions, also with a fallback to classic wildcard
3402 matching.
3403 + Added an extended test mode (-T) to sshd(8) to request that it write
3404 its effective configuration to stdout and exit. Extended test mode
3405 also supports the specification of connection parameters (username,
3406 source address and hostname) to test the application of
3407 sshd_config(5) Match rules.
3408 + ssh(1) now prints the number of bytes transferred and the overall
3409 connection throughput for SSH protocol 2 sessions when in verbose
3410 mode (previously these statistics were displayed for protocol 1
3411 connections only).
3412 + sftp-server(8) now supports extension methods statvfs@openssh.com
3413 and fstatvfs@openssh.com that implement statvfs(2)-like operations.
3414 + sftp(1) now has a "df" command to the sftp client that uses the
3415 statvfs@openssh.com to produce a df(1)-like display of filesystem
3416 space and inode utilisation (requires statvfs@openssh.com support on
3417 the server).
3418 + Added a MaxSessions option to sshd_config(5) to allow control of the
3419 number of multiplexed sessions supported over a single TCP
3420 connection. This allows increasing the number of allowed sessions
3421 above the previous default of 10, disabling connection multiplexing
3422 (MaxSessions=1) or disallowing login/shell/subsystem sessions
3423 entirely (MaxSessions=0).
3424 + Added a no-more-sessions@openssh.com global request extension that
3425 is sent from ssh(1) to sshd(8) when the client knows that it will
3426 never request another session (i.e. when session multiplexing is
3427 disabled). This allows a server to disallow further session requests
3428 and terminate the session in cases where the client has been
3429 hijacked.
3430 + ssh-keygen(1) now supports the use of the -l option in combination
3431 with -F to search for a host in ~/.ssh/known_hosts and display its
3432 fingerprint.
3433 + ssh-keyscan(1) now defaults to "rsa" (protocol 2) keys, instead of
3434 "rsa1" (LP: #129794).
3435 + Added an AllowAgentForwarding option to sshd_config(8) to control
3436 whether authentication agent forwarding is permitted. Note that this
3437 is a loose control, as a client may install their own unofficial
3438 forwarder.
3439 + ssh(1) and sshd(8): avoid unnecessary malloc/copy/free when
3440 receiving network data, resulting in a ~10% speedup.
3441 + ssh(1) and sshd(8) will now try additional addresses when connecting
3442 to a port forward destination whose DNS name resolves to more than
3443 one address. The previous behaviour was to try the only first
3444 address and give up if that failed.
3445 + ssh(1) and sshd(8) now support signalling that channels are
3446 half-closed for writing, through a channel protocol extension
3447 notification "eow@openssh.com". This allows propagation of closed
3448 file descriptors, so that commands such as "ssh -2 localhost od
3449 /bin/ls | true" do not send unnecessary data over the wire.
3450 + sshd(8): increased the default size of ssh protocol 1 ephemeral keys
3451 from 768 to 1024 bits.
3452 + When ssh(1) has been requested to fork after authentication ("ssh
3453 -f") with ExitOnForwardFailure enabled, delay the fork until after
3454 replies for any -R forwards have been seen. Allows for robust
3455 detection of -R forward failure when using -f.
3456 + "Match group" blocks in sshd_config(5) now support negation of
3457 groups. E.g. "Match group staff,!guests".
3458 + sftp(1) and sftp-server(8) now allow chmod-like operations to set
3459 set[ug]id/sticky bits.
3460 + The MaxAuthTries option is now permitted in sshd_config(5) match
3461 blocks.
3462 + Multiplexed ssh(1) sessions now support a subset of the ~ escapes
3463 that are available to a primary connection.
3464 + ssh(1) connection multiplexing will now fall back to creating a new
3465 connection in most error cases (closes: #352830).
3466 + Make ssh(1) deal more gracefully with channel requests that fail.
3467 Previously it would optimistically assume that requests would always
3468 succeed, which could cause hangs if they did not (e.g. when the
3469 server runs out of file descriptors).
3470 + ssh(1) now reports multiplexing errors via the multiplex slave's
3471 stderr where possible (subject to LogLevel in the mux master).
3472 + Fixed an UMAC alignment problem that manifested on Itanium
3473 platforms.
3474 * Remove our local version of moduli(5) now that there's one upstream.
3475 * Say "GTK+" rather than "GTK" in ssh-askpass-gnome's description.
3476 * Add lintian overrides for empty /usr/share/doc/openssh-client
3477 directories in openssh-server and ssh (necessary due to being symlink
3478 targets).
3479 * Merge from Ubuntu:
3480 - Add 'status' action to openssh-server init script, requiring lsb-base

3603 - Add key blacklisting support. Keys listed in
3604 /etc/ssh/blacklist.TYPE-LENGTH will be rejected for authentication by
3605 sshd, unless "PermitBlacklistedKeys yes" is set in
3606 /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
3607 - Add a new program, ssh-vulnkey, which can be used to check keys
3608 against these blacklists.
3609 - Depend on openssh-blacklist.
3610 - Force dependencies on libssl0.9.8 / libcrypto0.9.8-udeb to at least
3611 0.9.8g-9.
3612 - Automatically regenerate known-compromised host keys, with a
3613 critical-priority debconf note. (I regret that there was no time to

3715 * New upstream release (closes: #453367).
3716 - CVE-2007-4752: Prevent ssh(1) from using a trusted X11 cookie if
3717 creation of an untrusted cookie fails; found and fixed by Jan Pechanec
3718 (closes: #444738).
3719 - sshd(8) in new installations defaults to SSH Protocol 2 only. Existing
3720 installations are unchanged.
3721 - The SSH channel window size has been increased, and both ssh(1)
3722 sshd(8) now send window updates more aggressively. These improves
3723 performance on high-BDP (Bandwidth Delay Product) networks.
3724 - ssh(1) and sshd(8) now preserve MAC contexts between packets, which
3725 saves 2 hash calls per packet and results in 12-16% speedup for
3726 arcfour256/hmac-md5.
3727 - A new MAC algorithm has been added, UMAC-64 (RFC4418) as
3728 "umac-64@openssh.com". UMAC-64 has been measured to be approximately
3729 20% faster than HMAC-MD5.
3730 - Failure to establish a ssh(1) TunnelForward is now treated as a fatal
3731 error when the ExitOnForwardFailure option is set.
3732 - ssh(1) returns a sensible exit status if the control master goes away
3733 without passing the full exit status.
3734 - When using a ProxyCommand in ssh(1), set the outgoing hostname with
3735 gethostname(2), allowing hostbased authentication to work.
3736 - Make scp(1) skip FIFOs rather than hanging (closes: #246774).
3737 - Encode non-printing characters in scp(1) filenames. These could cause
3738 copies to be aborted with a "protocol error".
3739 - Handle SIGINT in sshd(8) privilege separation child process to ensure
3740 that wtmp and lastlog records are correctly updated.
3741 - Report GSSAPI mechanism in errors, for libraries that support multiple
3742 mechanisms.
3743 - Improve documentation for ssh-add(1)'s -d option.
3744 - Rearrange and tidy GSSAPI code, removing server-only code being linked
3745 into the client.
3746 - Delay execution of ssh(1)'s LocalCommand until after all forwardings
3747 have been established.
3748 - In scp(1), do not truncate non-regular files.
3749 - Improve exit message from ControlMaster clients.
3750 - Prevent sftp-server(8) from reading until it runs out of buffer space,
3751 whereupon it would exit with a fatal error (closes: #365541).
3752 - pam_end() was not being called if authentication failed
3753 (closes: #405041).
3754 - Manual page datestamps updated (closes: #433181).
3755 * Install the OpenSSH FAQ in /usr/share/doc/openssh-client.
3756 - Includes documentation on copying files with colons using scp
3757 (closes: #303453).

3759 (closes: #453285).
3760 * Fix "overriden" typo in ssh(1) (thanks, A. Costa; closes: #390699).
3761 * Refactor debian/rules configure and make invocations to make development
3762 easier.

3764 * Update moduli(5) to revision 1.11 from OpenBSD CVS.
3765 * Document the non-default options we set as standard in ssh_config(5) and

3767 * Recode LICENCE to UTF-8 when concatenating it to debian/copyright.
3768 * Override desktop-file-but-no-dh_desktop-call lintian warning; the
3769 .desktop file is intentionally not installed (see 1:3.8.1p1-10).

3865
3866 * New upstream release (closes: #395507, #397961, #420035). Important
3867 changes not previously backported to 4.3p2:
3868 - 4.4/4.4p1 (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-4.4):
3869 + On portable OpenSSH, fix a GSSAPI authentication abort that could be
3870 used to determine the validity of usernames on some platforms.
3871 + Implemented conditional configuration in sshd_config(5) using the
3872 "Match" directive. This allows some configuration options to be
3873 selectively overridden if specific criteria (based on user, group,
3874 hostname and/or address) are met. So far a useful subset of
3875 post-authentication options are supported and more are expected to
3876 be added in future releases.
3877 + Add support for Diffie-Hellman group exchange key agreement with a
3878 final hash of SHA256.
3879 + Added a "ForceCommand" directive to sshd_config(5). Similar to the
3880 command="..." option accepted in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, this forces
3881 the execution of the specified command regardless of what the user
3882 requested. This is very useful in conjunction with the new "Match"
3883 option.
3884 + Add a "PermitOpen" directive to sshd_config(5). This mirrors the
3885 permitopen="..." authorized_keys option, allowing fine-grained
3886 control over the port-forwardings that a user is allowed to
3887 establish.
3888 + Add optional logging of transactions to sftp-server(8).
3889 + ssh(1) will now record port numbers for hosts stored in
3890 ~/.ssh/known_hosts when a non-standard port has been requested
3891 (closes: #50612).
3892 + Add an "ExitOnForwardFailure" option to cause ssh(1) to exit (with a
3893 non-zero exit code) when requested port forwardings could not be
3894 established.
3895 + Extend sshd_config(5) "SubSystem" declarations to allow the
3896 specification of command-line arguments.
3897 + Replacement of all integer overflow susceptible invocations of
3898 malloc(3) and realloc(3) with overflow-checking equivalents.
3899 + Many manpage fixes and improvements.
3900 + Add optional support for OpenSSL hardware accelerators (engines),
3901 enabled using the --with-ssl-engine configure option.
3902 + Tokens in configuration files may be double-quoted in order to
3903 contain spaces (closes: #319639).
3904 + Move a debug() call out of a SIGCHLD handler, fixing a hang when the
3905 session exits very quickly (closes: #307890).
3906 + Fix some incorrect buffer allocation calculations (closes: #410599).
3907 + ssh-add doesn't ask for a passphrase if key file permissions are too
3908 liberal (closes: #103677).
3909 + Likewise, ssh doesn't ask either (closes: #99675).
3910 - 4.6/4.6p1 (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-4.6):
3911 + sshd now allows the enabling and disabling of authentication methods
3912 on a per user, group, host and network basis via the Match directive
3913 in sshd_config.
3914 + Fixed an inconsistent check for a terminal when displaying scp
3915 progress meter (closes: #257524).
3916 + Fix "hang on exit" when background processes are running at the time
3917 of exit on a ttyful/login session (closes: #88337).
3918 * Update to current GSSAPI patch from
3919 http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/openssh-4.6p1-gsskex-20070312.patch;
3920 install ChangeLog.gssapi.
3921 * Build the .deb --with-ssl-engine (closes: #408027, LP: #119295).
3922 * Use LSB functions in init scripts, and add an LSB-style header (partly
3923 from Ubuntu and partly thanks to Christian Perrier; closes: #389038).
3924 * Move init script start links to S16, move rc1 stop link to K84, and
3925 remove rc0 and rc6 stop links altogether (the last part from Ubuntu;
3926 closes: #122188).
3927 * Emit a slightly more informative message from the init script if
3928 /dev/null has somehow become not a character device (closes: #369964).
3929 * Belatedly build-depend on zlib1g-dev (>= 1:1.2.3-1) (closes: #333447).
3930 * Merge from Ubuntu:
3931 - Build position-independent executables (only for debs, not for udebs)
3932 to take advantage of address space layout randomisation.
3933 - If building on Ubuntu, add /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/local/sbin to
3934 the default path.
3935 * Use ${binary:Version} rather than ${Source-Version} in openssh-server ->
3936 openssh-client dependency.

4013 * It turns out that the people who told me that removing a conffile in the

4015 moving a conffile between packages were very much mistaken. As far as I
4016 can tell, the only way to do this reliably is to write out the desired
4017 new text of the conffile in the preinst. This is gross, and requires
4018 shipping the text of all conffiles in the preinst too, but there's
4019 nothing for it. Fortunately this nonsense is only required for smooth

4136 * New upstream release (closes: #361032).
4137 - CVE-2006-0225: scp (as does rcp, on which it is based) invoked a
4138 subshell to perform local to local, and remote to remote copy
4139 operations. This subshell exposed filenames to shell expansion twice;
4140 allowing a local attacker to create filenames containing shell
4141 metacharacters that, if matched by a wildcard, could lead to execution
4142 of attacker-specified commands with the privilege of the user running
4143 scp (closes: #349645).
4144 - Add support for tunneling arbitrary network packets over a connection
4145 between an OpenSSH client and server via tun(4) virtual network
4146 interfaces. This allows the use of OpenSSH (4.3+) to create a true VPN
4147 between the client and server providing real network connectivity at
4148 layer 2 or 3. This feature is experimental.
4149 - Reduce default key length for new DSA keys generated by ssh-keygen
4150 back to 1024 bits. DSA is not specified for longer lengths and does
4151 not fully benefit from simply making keys longer. As per FIPS 186-2
4152 Change Notice 1, ssh-keygen will refuse to generate a new DSA key
4153 smaller or larger than 1024 bits.
4154 - Fixed X forwarding failing to start when the X11 client is executed in
4155 background at the time of session exit.
4156 - Change ssh-keygen to generate a protocol 2 RSA key when invoked
4157 without arguments (closes: #114894).
4158 - Fix timing variance for valid vs. invalid accounts when attempting
4159 Kerberos authentication.
4160 - Ensure that ssh always returns code 255 on internal error
4161 (closes: #259865).
4162 - Cleanup wtmp files on SIGTERM when not using privsep.
4163 - Set SO_REUSEADDR on X11 listeners to avoid problems caused by
4164 lingering sockets from previous session (X11 applications can
4165 sometimes not connect to 127.0.0.1:60xx) (closes:
4166 https://launchpad.net/bugs/25528).
4167 - Ensure that fds 0, 1 and 2 are always attached in all programs, by
4168 duping /dev/null to them if necessary.
4169 - Xauth list invocation had bogus "." argument.
4170 - Remove internal assumptions on key exchange hash algorithm and output
4171 length, preparing OpenSSH for KEX methods with alternate hashes.
4172 - Ignore junk sent by a server before it sends the "SSH-" banner.
4173 - Many manual page improvements.
4174 - Lots of cleanups, including fixes to memory leaks on error paths and
4175 possible crashes.
4176 * Update to current GSSAPI patch from
4177 http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/openssh-4.3p2-gsskex-20060223.patch
4178 (closes: #352042).
4179 * debian/rules: Resynchronise CFLAGS with that generated by configure.
4180 * Restore pam_nologin to /etc/pam.d/ssh; sshd no longer checks this itself
4181 when PAM is enabled, but relies on PAM to do it.
4182 * Rename KeepAlive to TCPKeepAlive in default sshd_config
4183 (closes: #349896).
4184 * Rephrase ssh/new_config and ssh/encrypted_host_key_but_no_keygen debconf
4185 templates to make boolean short descriptions end with a question mark
4186 and to avoid use of the first person.

4288 I mention the CVE reference here anyway for completeness.
4289 - Add a new compression method ("Compression delayed") that delays zlib
4290 compression until after authentication, eliminating the risk of zlib
4291 vulnerabilities being exploited by unauthenticated users. Note that
4292 users of OpenSSH versions earlier than 3.5 will need to disable

4380 * Drop debconf support for allowing SSH protocol 1, which is discouraged
4381 and has not been the default since openssh 1:3.0.1p1-1. Users who need
4382 this should edit sshd_config instead (closes: #147212).
4383 * Since ssh-keysign isn't used by default (you need to set
4384 EnableSSHKeysign to "yes" in /etc/ssh/ssh_config), having a debconf
4385 question to ask whether it should be setuid is overkill, and the
4386 question text had got out of date anyway. Remove this question, ship
4387 ssh-keysign setuid in openssh-client.deb, and set a statoverride if the
4388 debconf question was previously set to false.
4389 * Add lintian overrides for the above (setuid-binary,
4390 no-debconf-templates).
4391 * Fix picky lintian errors about slogin symlinks.
4392 * Fix DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS/DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM compatibility handling.

4400 - Normalise socket addresses returned by get_remote_hostname(), fixing
4401 4-in-6 mapping issues with AllowUsers et al (closes: #192234).
4402 * Take upstream's hint and disable the unsupported USE_POSIX_THREADS
4403 (closes: #295757, #308868, and possibly others; may open other bugs).
4404 Use PAM password authentication to avoid #278394. In future I may
4405 provide two sets of binaries built with and without this option, since
4406 it seems I can't win.
4407 * Disable ChallengeResponseAuthentication in new installations, returning
4408 to PasswordAuthentication by default, since it now supports PAM and
4409 apparently works better with a non-threaded sshd (closes: #247521).
4410 * openssh-server Suggests: rssh (closes: #233012).
4411 * Change libexecdir to /usr/lib/openssh, and fix up various alternatives
4412 and configuration files to match (closes: #87900, #151321).
4413 * Fix up very old sshd_config files that refer to /usr/libexec/sftp-server

4421 - Port-forwarding specifications now take optional bind addresses, and
4422 the server allows client-specified bind addresses for remote port
4423 forwardings when configured with "GatewayPorts clientspecified"
4424 (closes: #87253, #192206).
4425 - ssh and ssh-keyscan now support hashing of known_hosts files for
4426 improved privacy (CAN-2005-2666). ssh-keygen has new options for
4427 managing known_hosts files, which understand hashing.
4428 - sftp supports command history and editing support using libedit
4429 (closes: #287013).
4430 - Have scp and sftp wait for the spawned ssh to exit before they exit
4431 themselves, allowing ssh to restore terminal modes (closes: #257130).
4432 - Improved the handling of bad data in authorized_keys files,
4433 eliminating fatal errors on corrupt or very large keys; e.g. linefeeds
4434 in keys only produce errors in auth.log now (closes: #220726).
4435 - Add "command mode" to ssh connection multiplexing (closes: #303452).
4436 - Mention $HOME/.hushlogin in sshd(8) FILES section (closes: #163933).
4437 * Make gnome-ssh-askpass stay above other windows (thanks, Liyang HU;
4438 closes: #296487).
4439 * Remove obsolete and unnecessary ssh/forward_warning debconf note.
4440 * Hurd build fixes (although sshd still doesn't work):
4441 - Restore X forwarding fix from #102991, lost somewhere along the way.
4442 - Link with -lcrypt.
4443 - Link with -lpthread rather than -pthread.
4444 - Don't build ssh-askpass-gnome on the Hurd, until GNOME is available to
4445 satisfy build-dependencies.
4446 * Drop workaround for #242462 on amd64; it's been fixed properly upstream.
4447 * Enable HashKnownHosts by default. This only affects new entries; use
4448 'ssh-keygen -H' to convert an entire known_hosts file to hashed format.
4449 * Note in ssh_config(5) that the SetupTimeOut option is Debian-specific
4450 (closes: #307069).
4451 * debconf template translations:
4452 - Update Czech (thanks, Miroslav Kure; closes: #298744).

4561 common functionality; it didn't seem worth creating yet another package
4562 for this. openssh-client is priority standard, openssh-server optional.
4563 * New transitional ssh package, priority optional, depending on
4564 openssh-client and openssh-server. May be removed once nothing depends
4565 on it.
4566 * When upgrading from ssh to openssh-{client,server}, it's very difficult
4567 for the maintainer scripts to find out what version we're upgrading from
4568 without dodgy dpkg hackery. I've therefore taken the opportunity to move
4569 a couple of debconf notes into NEWS files, namely ssh/ssh2_keys_merged
4570 and ssh/user_environment_tell.
4571 * Add a heuristic to try to make sure the sshd_config upgrade to >= 3.7
4572 happens even though we don't know what version we're upgrading from.
4573 * Remove /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run on purge of openssh-server. For now
4574 (until sarge+2) it's still honoured to avoid breaking existing
4575 configurations, but the right approach is now to remove the
4576 openssh-server package if you don't want to run the server. Add a NEWS

4755 - Punctuation formatting fixed in man pages (closes: #191131).
4756 - EnableSSHKeysign documented in ssh_config(5) (closes: #224457).
4757 * Add 'UsePAM yes' to /etc/ssh/sshd_config on upgrade from versions older
4758 than this, to maintain the standard Debian sshd configuration.
4759 * Comment out PAMAuthenticationViaKbdInt and RhostsAuthentication in
4760 sshd_config on upgrade. Neither option is supported any more.
4761 * Privilege separation and PAM are now properly supported together, so
4762 remove both debconf questions related to them and simply set it
4763 unconditionally in newly generated sshd_config files (closes: #228838).
4764 * ServerAliveInterval implemented upstream, so ProtocolKeepAlives is now a
4765 compatibility alias. The semantics differ slightly, though; see
4766 ssh_config(5) for details.
4767 * Implement SSH1 support for ServerAliveInterval using SSH_MSG_IGNORE. As
4768 documented in ssh_config(5), it's not as good as the SSH2 version.
4769 * Remove -fno-builtin-log, -DHAVE_MMAP_ANON_SHARED, and
4770 -D__FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 compiler options, which are no longer necessary.
4771 * Update config.guess and config.sub from autotools-dev 20040105.1.
4772 * Darren Tucker:
4773 - Reset signal status when starting pam auth thread, prevent hanging
4774 during PAM keyboard-interactive authentications.
4775 - Fix a non-security-critical segfault in PAM authentication.

4777 - Greek (thanks, Konstantinos Margaritis; closes: #232843).
4778 - Italian (thanks, Renato Gini; closes: #234777).

4945 - Simplify the postinst by relying on debconf being present. (The absent
4946 case was buggy anyway.)
4947 - Get rid of "if you have not installed debconf" text in README.Debian,
4948 and generally update the "/usr/bin/ssh not SUID" entry.
4949 * More README.Debian work:
4950 - Reorganize into "UPGRADE ISSUES" and "OTHER ISSUES", in an effort to
4951 make it easier for people to find the former. The upgrade issues
4952 should probably be sorted by version somehow.
4953 - Document X11UseLocalhost under "X11 Forwarding" (closes: #150913).

5003 question's default using that information, rather than using debconf as
5004 a registry. Other solutions may be better in the long run, but this is
5005 at least correct (thanks, Matthew Woodcraft; closes: #84725).
5006 * Stop using pam_lastlog, as it doesn't currently work well as a session
5007 module when privilege separation is enabled; it can usually read
5008 /var/log/lastlog but can't write to it. Instead, just use sshd's

5867 -> ssh-nonfree -> openssh. Without these, debconf remembered
5868 the old answer, config didn't force asking it, and preinst always
